Archaeologists say large fragment was a part of the Mycenaean royal throne.
Archaeologists have found and identified a large fragment of what is likely the throne of a Mycenaean king at the site of ancient Mycenae in Greece.
Dubbed the "throne of Agamemnon", after the famous mythical king who led the united Greek armed forces during the Trojan War, it was first discovered on June 12, 2014 by two research team graduates, Erik deMarche and Dan Fallu, who were working under the leadership of Prof. Christofilis Maggidis (Associate Professor of Dickinson College, President of the Mycenaean Foundation and Field Director of Excavations at the Lower Town of Mycenae and Glas). They were conducting a paleo-hydrological survey in the Chavos ravine on the south side of the famous Mycenaean citadel remains at Mycenae, Greece. It is reported to be the only throne of a Mycenaean palace ever found so far on mainland Greece.
