Greek pyramids, also known as the Pyramids of Argolis, refers to several ancient structures located in the plains of Argolid, Greece. The best known of these is known as the Pyramid of Hellinikon (Greek: Πυραμίδα του Ελληνικού). In the time of the geographer Pausanias it was considered to be a tomb. Twentieth century researchers have suggested other possible uses.[1] The surrounding country of Apobathmi was called Pyramia (Πυράμια), from the monuments in the form of pyramids found there.[2][3]
