	Reason Magazine - Artifact: Webcam in the Round
		Behold the Tholos, where the webcam meets the circular, painted panorama of the 19th century.
		There will be some programming (such as documentary material), but Tholos is primarily intended as a "wonder." Though it may end up as a mere novelty, it's a peculiarly modern wonder.
		Unlike the circular panoramic canvases that Tholos echoes, which overpowered viewers with scenes of battle and disaster, you fill this "canvas" yourself.

		Thus, the "Tholos" becomes a symbol of Hellenism and characterizes Pireos street.

	Mycenaean Tholos Tombs and Early Mycenaean Settlements
		The {Mycenaean tholos tomb} consists of a circular, subterranean burial chamber, sometimes referred to as the {thalamos}, roofed by a corbelled vault and approached by a {dromos} [= entrance passage] that narrows abruptly at the {stomion} [= doorway] actually opening into the tomb chamber.
		From Messenia, the Mycenaean tholos diffused to the Argolid, Laconia, and coastal Attica during the LH IIA period.
		The Mycenaean tholos is usually restricted in its use to members of the uppermost class in society, the kings, princes, and major "barons" and their immediate families.

	Tholos - LoveToKnow 1911
		THOLOS (06Xos), the term given in Greek architecture to a circular building, with or without a peristyle; the earliest examples are those of the beehive tombs at Mycenae and in other parts of Greece, which were covered by domes built in horizontal courses of masonry.
		The Tholos at Epidaurus, built by Polycleitus (c.
		400 B.C.), and the Tholos at Olympia, known as the Philippeion, are the most remarkable examples, and in both cases were covered with a sloping roof and not with a dome.

		Tholos tombs were the next step in burial practices for the Mycenaeans (in the evolution from cist graves to shaft graves to chamber tombs to tholoi).
		The tholos itself was designed to merge with the slope of the hill, and grass naturally camouflaged it (although the peak of the mound rose above the top of the hill).
		The sun illuminates the monumental doorway (the entrance is 5 meters thick) of the otherwise dark tholos chamber.

	KIP: Research Areas, Tholos Excavation
		In the middle of this cutting was a nest of closely packed pots, and on a pebble surface in the southern corner were masses of conical cups, carefully stacked on their sides or inverted in a large basin.
		The Tholos tomb type, the regular occurrence of pebbled areas and the similar suites of pottery, all suggest a relatively conservative set of mortuary strategies, consistently reproduced over two phases of the LMI period.
		The picture at Tholos is comparable to that documented for other excavated tombs at Kastri and in combination, these Second Palace tombs offer an intriguing perspective on funerary practice, during a time of apparent demographic expansion and rural colonisation across the island.

		Inside the Tholos there is a painting by Pausias depicting Eros who, having left aside his bow and arrows, is holding a lyre.

	THOLOS AT EPIDAVROS - Presentation of the Monument
		The pavement of the Tholos points out, that through the comparative analogy of vibrations between the great Planetary System and the small human being, the permanent cure of souls and bodies can be achieved.
		The coordinated movement of the soul with the Supreme Wisdom of the Tholos will re-establish the proper healing to the suffering humanity and will improve the medical science through the holistic view, not only of man in all his physical and psychological functions, but of man in harmony with the “cosmos”.
		When the Tholos reveals what was actually taking place between the Heliocentric System and the human being, it will hopefully bring healing to the suffering humanity.
