However, we do not know some secrets that the pyramids diligently hide. Our country also has pyramids that are considered older than the Egyptian ones The most famous is the “Pyramid of Hellinikon” next to the ancient road that connected Argos with Tegea. The researcher Pausanias (2nd century AD) does not mention the pyramid in Argolis, near today’s Ligourio. They took their name from “Fire” the flame that ends in a nose. Homer does not mention the Pyramids of Egypt. Therefore, they are considered newer than that. Kings built them as impressive monuments and to be buried there. But for fear of tomb robbers, Hembis and Kephrin ordered that they not be buried there but elsewhere in secret. It is said that in one of them, the courtesan Rodopis from the her lovers [She was from Thrace and a slave of the Samian Iadmon or Idmon, whose Aesop was, and she was taken there by a Samian to work in a brothel as a courtesan. Sappho’s brother Charaxus freed her and gave her a lot of money to return to her homeland. She was extremely beautiful and addicted to the secluded life of a courtesan, she acquired great fame and a lot of money, but not enough to build a pyramid. This luxury prostitute donated a tenth of her money to Delphi to make durable spits for roasting cattle. I saw this custom in Germany when they roasted calves. After this, Rhodopis served as an official concubine of the city of Naucratis, the notorious Archdike, and she was a concubine, inferior to Rhodopis. Finally, it is said that the king of Memphis married her] Herodotus informs us that Cheops, a violent and tyrannical king, closed the temples, prevented sacrifices and ordered the people to work on the construction of his pyramid. The stones were taken from Arabia and transported to the place where the pyramids would be built, some 2-3 km away from the Nile. However, because the area was marshy, an elevated stone road was built over the marsh to transport the materials from the Nile and from there they were raised to the mountain called Libyan. Essentially, this is a huge bridge and a not inconsiderable project. This project was completed in ten years, 100,000 people were required to work, who changed every three months.[Continued] * Amphictyon, Major General (retd) Konstantinos Konstantinidis Author, Member of the Society of Greek Writers amphiktyon@gmail.com http:\/\/amphiktyon.blogspot.com\/ http:\/\/amphiktyon.org"},"content":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3332"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3333,"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3332\/revisions\/3333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amphiktyon.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
