Pyramid in Argos, Greece

I recently posted about how there are global connections to many things, such as the Pyramids, around the world.


Global connections..


Turns out we may be having to add to the list of connectons on a weekly, if not daily, basis due to the immense amount of discoveries being made.


Here is one in Greece..


“When we hear the word pyramids, our minds immediately go to Egypt; however there are pyramids scattered all over the world : America, Europe, Asia and India. One of those pyramids that few know is the pyramid of Hellenikon in Argos, Greece.


The ancient Greek traveller and geographer Pausanias, in his Description of Greece, refers to the Pyramid of Hellinikon close to Argos.”


On the way from Argos to Epidauria there is on the right a building made very like a pyramid, and on it in relief are wrought shields of the Argive shape. Here took place a fight for the throne between Proetus and Acrisius; the contest, they say, ended in a draw, and a reconciliation resulted afterwards, as neither could gain a decisive victory. The story is that they and their hosts were armed with shields, which were first used in this battle. For those that fell on either side was built here a common tomb, as they were fellow citizens and kinsmen. Pausanias: 2.25″
