Still detailing the construction of Mycenae's secret underground cistern for Orestes: The High King. Sadly, very little archeological work has been done on this Late Helladic III feature, so it's very hard to find information about how the construction was carried out. I'm having to give it my best guess. If anyone has detailed information, please let me know.
Also, I'm lacking information on the Perseia spring which flowed to the east of the citadel, and to which the cistern was connected via a buried channel of clay pipes. Pictures would be especially welcome.
