The Treasury of Atreus, c. 1300-1250 B.C.E., Mycenae, Greece
(piano music) Voiceover: Just down the hill from Mycenae the great Citadel of the Mycenaean's.발음듣기
Voiceover: And these date to a slightly later period of Mycenaean history and they are clearly expressions of power the ruling elite were buried in tholos tombs.발음듣기
Voiceover: We're going to walk in, walking along a passageway that's built into the side of the hill with huge blocks of stone that have been cut quite finely and fit together very closely.발음듣기
Some of the stones are just of such a large scale that it's hard to imagine people being able to move them.발음듣기
(stones crunching underfoot) Voiceover: The walls on either side rise above us giving an unmistakable impression of a grand monumental space.발음듣기
Where the stones are cut and placed so that each one, as it moves up, moves slightly inward, creating this triangular space above the lintel known as the relieving triangle.발음듣기
Voiceover: We don't think this was, but again, there were complex stones that would have faced this rougher masonry and we know that at least some of it was imported from Egypt.발음듣기
Voiceover: And we know that the Mycenaean people buried considerable treasure with their dead.발음듣기
Voiceover: As we enter into the domical space itself, we are in a round chamber, which beside the entranceway and the actual burial chamber to the right, is completely circular.발음듣기
Some architectural historians have hypothesized that there may have been carved bulls around the bottom, but it rises to an enormous height above us.발음듣기
Voiceover: So this is a real engineering achievement to create a domical-vaulted space this high and this wide.발음듣기
So each of these stones pushes inward at ever-so-slightly and is cut at an angle so that you have this smooth transition up to the apex with a cap stone.발음듣기
The width and height of the space are almost equal. and so there really is a sense of perfection here.발음듣기
