EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1877, showcases a selection of the groundbreaking finds from the ancient Greek site of Mycenae, on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of archaeology and the pivotal role played by German archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, in uncovering the treasures of this legendary city. Schliemann's excavations at Mycenae, a significant Bronze Age site located in the Peloponnese region of Greece, began in 1874 and continued until 1876. The discoveries made during this time included the Lion Gate, the Treasury of Atreus, and the Mask of Agamemnon, among other notable artifacts. In this photograph, scholars and visitors can be seen closely examining the finds, their faces filled with awe and fascination. The table, laden with the ancient treasures, is the center of attention, with various objects, including gold jewelry, pottery, and intricately crafted artifacts, arranged meticulously for study and analysis. The atmosphere in the room is one of intense interest and excitement, as the scholars delve deeper into the mysteries of Mycenaean civilization. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of archaeology and the importance of preserving and studying the past. The National Archaeological Museum in Athens, which opened in 1889, is home to a vast collection of Greek antiquities, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history and archaeology. This photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a window into the past and the remarkable discoveries made by Schliemann and other pioneering archaeologists.
