Ya…that’s cool and all, BUT WHAT ABOUT ROME?
This is the Pyramid of Cestius, a tomb built for senator Gaius Cestius between 18-12 BCE. And although its history involves outliving a pyramid dedicated to Romulus, it more exemplifies when Rome became infatuated by the culture of Egypt. Like many fads, this craze resulted in obelisks, sculptures of creatures such as sphinxes, and, YES, Pyramids being built or imported into the city. And although it surely represented how much the Roman Empire embedded itself as a crossroads of Mediterranean culture, it also shows how much of a military grip it had on these cultures. A subject clearly more interesting than a mountain in the South Pole, History Channel...
