These ruins from about 1550 BC are where the Mycenaen royalty were buried - 9 women, 8 men and 2 children were entombed in 6 different graves. Many artifacts were found here which are now housed in the on site museum--pottery, jewelry, swords, spears, engraved cups, frescoes and carvings. Viewing 5,000 year old objects leaves one speechless.
