  6. 🔺️Explore the "Pyramid of Hellinikon" (Πυραμίδα του Ελληνικού), a monument in #Greece, situated along the ancient road to Tegea.
    37°35′14″N 22°40′17″E.

    Archaeologists have debated its origin and purpose. Although in late antiquity, Pausanias referred to a local "polyandrion"(πολυάνδριον/ collective burial mound), today it is regarded as a fortified watchtower (pyrgion/πυργίον) or a fire-signal tower (fryktoria/φρυκτωρία).

  17. The Reception of the Marduk Prophecy in Seventh-Century B.C. Nineveh

    This article discusses how the Marduk Prophecy was read and re-interpreted in Nineveh at that time. Between the Marduk Prophecy and the royal literature during the reign of Ashurbanipal, the following common themes can be recognized: (1) reconstruction of the Babylonian temples, above all Esagil; (2) conquest of Elam; and (3) fulfillment of divine prophecies. On the basis of these, the author proposes that in the seventh-century Nineveh the Marduk Prophecy was regarded as an authentic prophecy predicting the achievements of Ashurbanipal, and that this is the main reason why this text was read at his court.

    Takuma SUGIE, The Reception of the Marduk Prophecy in Seventh-Century B.C. Nineveh, Orient, 2014, Volume 49, Pages 107-113, Released on J-STAGE April 03, 2017, Online ISSN 1884-1392, Print ISSN 0473-3851, doi.org/10.5356/orient.49.107.
