I love your posts but they are in the wrong section on FreeRepublic.

PS: Know anything about these historical anomalies?

The existence of pyramids in Greece was unknown to most people until recently, and even today not much is known about them. For example, the pyramid of Hellenikon, near Argos, is older than the Pyramids of Egypt. In fact, Pausanias (in Graeciae Descriptio) says that this pyramid was a memorial in rememberance of the first battle fought by soldiers bearing shields!

THE PYRAMID OF HELLENICON (Location: Hellenikon Village, Argolis.)

This Pyramid is found in northwestern Peloponnese, near the village of Ligourion, on the foot of mount Arachnaeum, not far from the site of ancient Epidaurus.

The pyramid is located in the south of the Chania area, in the island of Crete, at an altitute of 290 m above sea level.

regarding the reply to which this is posted:

The "Pyramid" of Hellenikon
Hellenic Ministry of Culture

"According to evidence from the excavations and the typical features of the structure which dates to the end of the 4th century B.C. and not to the prehistoric period, as some scientists have been recently willing to demonstrate."

In other words, to the surprise of very few, thee Hellenikon pyramid isn't older than the Giza pyramids. :')
