graves of Mycenae Tiryns: *
the Tholos Tomb; tholoi are a monumental Late Bronze Age development, inspired by the tholoi of Crete (first used in the Early Minoan period). Similar to the much more numerous Mycenaean chamber tombs which emerged at about the same time, both have chamber, doorway stomion and entrance passage dromos but tholoi are largely built while chamber tombs are rock-cut.
