Mycenaean

The Mycenaean citadel on Mainland Greece stands high above the Aegean Sea surrounded by walls of stone so large they are called Cyclopean, as if only the mythic giant Cyclops could have moved them into place. The Bronze Age Mycenaeans were also renowned smiths, whose expertise is evident in the gold masks and jewelry found in the shafts below their grave circles.
