Elliniko pyramid, Ancient pyramid in Elliniko, Greece.
The limestone structure measures 7.03 meters by 9.07 meters at its base, with walls sloping at 60 degrees for 3.5 meters to a flat surface.
Dating methods suggest construction during the 4th century BCE, when 3000 Argive mercenaries traveled to Egypt, indicating potential architectural influences between regions.
Greek geographer Pausanias documented the structure as a collective tomb for Argive soldiers, though no funerary evidence supports this interpretation.
The pyramid stands along the ancient road connecting Argolida with Arcadia, providing clear views of the Argolic Gulf and coastal plain.
Unlike Egyptian pyramids, this structure features a narrow corridor from the southeast entrance leading to a main interior room of 7 meters square.
