Well there are certainly some old structures here. I would put this one up there with it. We are talking 1600 to 1200 BC. Which was century BEFORE Athen's Golden Age. If you take a peek at this link on Agamemnon (mom, you click on the blue name) you can see the back story here and recall all your Homer and Iliad from high school. The nuts and bolts is that he was a right git. Or worse. And so Clytemnestra seemed justified in killing him.
The most impressive run is one of the beehive tombs which include stone slabs that are huge—-as in a lintel which weighs 120 TONS. The theory is that ramps were used and logs like the Egyptians. Many of these were plundered. The ruins of Mycenae proper include grave circles and the castle.
