This tomb was built centuries before Agamemnon, Klytaemnistra, Aegisthus and Orestis came to be. Nevertheless, this was named after Aegisthus, as the names of the other/older Anaxes (Kings) of Mycenae eluded the local common people who strive to attribute the monuments to figures that were easier to find in the more familiar among the surviving ancient texts. The structure is magnificent and easy to visit. Anywhere else this could be a highlighted spectacle in itself. Here it is -unjustly and yet understandably- lost in context, as the surroundings are downright overwhelming.

Одна из четырех гробниц типа Толос в Микенах, самая древняя, построена в XV веке до н.э. (предположительно около 1470 г. до н.э). Могила была названа в честь Эгисфа, сводного брата Агамемнона и любовника Клитемнестры. Могила находится примерно в 80 м к западу от Львиных ворот. Дромос (проход в погребальную камеру) имеет длину 22 м и ширину около 4,50 м. Купол могилы был построен методом сухой каменной кладки из грубо обтесанных камней, имеет диаметр 13 м и первоначально 13 м в высоту.

Ο Θολωτός Τάφος του Αιγίσθου βρίσκεται εντός του Αρχαιολογικού χώρου των Μυκηνών. Ανήκει στον αρχαιότερο τύπο τάφων και για το λόγο αυτό θεωρείται μεγάλης σπουδαιότητας. Χτίστηκε γυρω στο 1.500 πΧ. Το ύψος της θόλου ήταν 14,50 μετρα και η διάμετρος του ήταν 13 μέτρα. Ο δρόμος του ήταν 22 μέτρα με πλάτος περίπου 5 μέτρα. Αξίζει να παρατηρήσετε την δεύτερη διακοσμητική πρόσοψη από αμυγδαλόπετρες στη δεξιά παραστάδα της εισόδου.

Miejsce o nie określonym dokładnie przeznaczeniu. Według archeologów mógł być to grób Agamemnona, który został ograbiony w zamierzchłych czasach. Za swoich lat świetności była to największa budowla kopułowa. Od podstaw miała wielkie bloki kamienne. Każda następna linia bloków była mniejsza aż na szczycie kopuły składała się z kamiennych bloków wielkości cegły. Po prawej strony od wejścia znajduje się otwór drzwiowy do następnej ty razem małej komnaty w której miały znajdować się zwłoki Agamemnona zaś w dużej komnacie jego doczesne kosztowności i sprzęty mające towarzyszyć...
