Article name
Treasury or Treasure of Atreus? I am familiar with the naming "Treasury" but have not seen it referred to as the treasure of Atreus. I think this may be a mistranslation from the commonly encountered Greek "Θησαυρός του Ατρέα" which literally translates to Treasury of Atreus. Anyone else have an opinion? I am not technically wikiliterate enough to make the name change myself whatever the outcome. --5telios 13:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Date
So, was it built c 1250 or in the 16th C BCE? The first 2 paragraphs have both assertions. Albiart (talk) 18:08, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * the same Question I would ask also when I come to this side -- Hartmann Schedel (talk) 15:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Checking the three external links and one reference source, all give the same date of the middle of the thirteenth century BCE, so I'm removing the second date from the article. The2crowrox (talk) 18:52, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Structure
The article could use some more information in regards to the structure of the building. There is nothing mentioning the relieving triangle above the lintel, which is included to funnel the weight/pressure of the building off the lintel and into the sides of the structure. --RobertTidona (talk) 05:56, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
