In this map of NE Peloponnesus, Argos is the center of two concentric circles of radii 22 and 75 KMC (kilomegalithic cubits). We observe that the most important prehistoric cities around Argos are in equal distances from it.
If we take 150 KMC (2x 75) as a radius, we'll find that Aegira, Kynaitha, Sparta (not shown here), the temple of Aphaea in Aegina, Megara and Pagai are approximately on this circle.
Straight lines (approximately):
1. Argos - Mycenae - Korinthos
2. Aegeira - Sikyon - Lechaion - Korinthos - Keghreae
3. Megara - Argos - pyramis at Hellenikon - Tegea
4. Epidauros - Midea - Orchomenos
Also,
1. Sparta = Argos, Pylos, Kyparissia (150 KMC)
2. Delphi = Athens, Aphaea (Aegina), Olympia (100 sq. r. 7 KMC)
3. Sounion = Athens (Parthenon), Aegina (Aphaea) (π^4 KMC)
4. Argos = Athens, Delphi (210 = 7 x 30 KMC)
5. Eleusis = Athens (Parthenon), Megara = Argos - Mycenae (10 (sq. r. 2 +1) KMC)
6. Heraion = Argos, Thebae (100 KMC)
7. Constantinopolis, the new capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, is π^7 KMC away from Rome and 400π away from Athens. The ratio is π^6/400 or about sq. r. 2 +1.
These are only a few examples to show that the ancient Greek cities were not built by chance.
