Truth of Troy: A Real Agamemnon?

Here's a great video on the location of Mycynae (the location of the play).



 During the 100 B.C. they created impressive structures such as the “Treasury of Atreus” which was burial place that was built with stone blocks that taper inward toward the highest points. Another impressive structure built by them was the Lioness Gate at Mycenae, which was built from large stones with carvings of Lions.

These Lions symbolized the King for them. The function of the lions were to act as guardians of the gate. It is said that the Mycenae were Egyptian influenced of burial customs together with strong supports.

This is grand to know for the production set. We now know there is a beauty with a powerful platform.
