Log Text: Tremper Mound is now open to the public with outdoor museum quality kiosks explaining the site's importance both as a natural and cultural site. The site was purchased by the Arc of Appalachia organization over several years by buying separate parcels. Fences around and over the mound and enclosure itself have been removed. The nearby Pond Creek trail is easily accessible.
Study of the site after purchase revealed that a small portion of the enclosure surrounding the mound still exists (much reduced in height) and mowing of vegetation highlights both the extend of the mound and enclosure.
Visitors may visit during daylight hours with parking in a graveled lot off of State Road 73 on the east side of the site.

Tomb of Philip II
Date Added: 5th Jul 2017
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Greece (Northern Greece)
Visited: Yes on 7th May 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 5
Log Text: The Great Mound was apparently an overgrown but noted site into modern times when excavated formally in the 1970's. Now the multiple tombs and graves are displayed in this museum setting, with the beautiful finds along side the tombs. The lighting is very dim at first and especially when they first open each day, the site is very crowded, but in 2017, the site appears to be open into the early evening and the crowds die down by mid afternoon.

Tippett Mound
Date Added: 12th Dec 2012
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 25th Jun 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 2
Log Text: I hiked to this mound from the north entrance of the Taft Reserve. There is a pictorial trail map on a display in a parking area that clearly identifies the mound. The most direct routes appears to be on a trail that starts as a rough, grassy lane from the north east corner of the property, along a fence line, but through woods. Basically stay to the left at all junctions until you find a post marked "9", then turn right. You will very quickly leave the woods and enter a meadow, only some of which is kept mowed. The mound is immediately obvious and straight ahead. You can approach the tree covered mound in order to see the contour clearly, but in late June, this was by make a path through chest high grass, wildflowers and bramble.

Date Added: 5th Jul 2017
Site Type: Chambered Cairn

At the time the perfectly corbelled roof was damaged, but this has been repaired in 1951 with the original blocks . The Dromos is 37 Meters long and 6 Meters wide while the tomb has a diameter of 13.5 Meters and an original height of 13 meters.

Tholos of Aegistus submitted by AlexHunger on 23rd Aug 2006. Schliemann took some liberties when naming the Mycenaean tombs and named them after Homeric characters. This tomb, however dates to about 1500 BCE, roughly 300 years before the Trojan War.

Country: Greece (Central Greece)
Visited: Yes on 12th May 2017. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 5
Thebes Museum submitted by AlexHunger on 23rd Aug 2006. The Museum in Thebes looked like a mediaval tower built from antique blocks and is recommended by the Michelin Guide for Greece. It is however still being renovated at this time.
Thebes is the legendary city of Cadmus and Oedipus, though only few antique monuments can be found.
