Prototype Pyramids of the Egyptian Kings?                                         The tombs at Akrum predate the  pyramids of Egypt  by about 2,000 years. Historical researcher Dr. Imad Younis told the  NNA that he thinks the Pharaohs of Egypt were “probably inspired by the idea of the pyramid burial from the Akrum burials.” While this is speculation, the researcher points out that “the ancient Egyptians visited the region and stayed there repeatedly.” This entire area is abundant with megalithic cemeteries and, according to a report in  Lebanon24, the archaeological sites near the villages of Menges and Fereidis in Akkar “date back 4000 years before Christ.” Al-Zein notes that what is striking about this Akrum  pyramid shaped burial tomb is that it is made of tall, flat, white  limestone, while all other examples that have been discovered were constructed of dark basalt rocks.
