The wealth of burial finds in Mycenae led to the conclusion that the corresponding burials belonged to members of the royal dynasty. Most striking of all, the Tholos Tomb of Atreus is the most splendid funerary monument of Mycenaean culture. Also known as the Treasury of Atreus or the Tomb of Agamemnon, it most probably belonged to neither of the two mythical rulers of the Mycenaean dynasty, but the name given to it by Schliemann has been preserved, contributing to its fame.
