The Mask of Agamennon

The Mask of Agamemnon is an artifact discovered at Mycenae in 1876 by Heinrich Schliemann. It has been lauded as the "Mona Lisa of prehistory". The artifact is a funeral mask smithed in gold and was found over the face of a body in a burial shaft designated Grave V at the site "Grave Circle A, Mycenae". Schliemann believed that he had discovered the body of the legendary Greek leader Agamemnon, naming his son after him in 1878, but modern archaeological research suggests that the mask is from 1550–1500 BCE—earlier than the life of Agamemnon, as tradition regards it. The mask is currently displayed in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. [Source is wikipedia] More about Hyria 3d virtual museums: http://www.massimogreco.xyz/
