The mystery of Mycene in Greece

Mycene lies in upcountry Greece in the Pelepones. It is a curious place since it is neither a city, village, fortress nor temple. It lies on top of a hillock in several stages. But the ruins do not indicate the existence of beautiful buildings or palaces in ancient times. Only the gate makes an impression through the carved lions above the entrance, which are the reason behind the name Lions Gate. Most of the complex consists of tumbled walls built from rough pieces of stone. The paths which lead up cover rocks and harsh floor. Whoever lived here didn't make it easy for themselves. But to the attentive visitor, this complex is surrounded by an air of mysteriousness, because there are remarkable things to be seen that can hardly be explained. For example, the rock along the path that leads to the Lion Gate has been cut off at a near perfect angle. There are large blocks of stone with a lot of gravel, evidently sawn and polished with little effort. The inhabitants were apparently capable of highly advanced stone working techniques, but it is unclear who they were and when this construction took place. Futher reading in the e-book "Weird Ancient Technology" or in the Dutch book "Verborgen geheimen van de mensheid".
