This 3,500-Year-Old Greek Tomb Upended What We Thought We Knew About the Roots of Western Civilization

This is not a breezy, condensed internet-friendly summary, but a lesson in history and archeology. It's a comprehensive analysis of the find, including lots of background on what was formerly thought about the origins of Mycenaean civilization and how this discovery will influence that line of thought.
