This black and white photograph, titled "Ingang van de tombe van Agamemnon," taken by the English Photo Co. between 1895 and 1915, captures the entrance to the Tomb of Agamemnon, a Mycenaean tholos tomb located in Mycenae, Greece. The photograph shows the long, narrow passageway leading to the entrance of the tomb, which is framed by massive stone walls. The triangular opening above the entrance is a characteristic feature of Mycenaean architecture and is believed to have been used for ventilation or as a symbol of the sun god. This photograph offers a glimpse into the ancient world and the impressive architectural achievements of the Mycenaean civilization.
