Holy sh!T!!!!!! Will you really send me that book? PLEASE PLEASE I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!P
A Letter from HEREDOTUS;
Everything Greek is stolen from Egyptians or east.
About Heracles I heard the account given that he was of the number of the twelve gods;
but of the other Heracles whom the Hellenes know I was not able to hear in any part of Egypt: and moreover to prove that the Egyptians did not take the name of Heracles from the Hellenes, but rather the Hellenes from the Egyptians,
As Parmenides asserts, nothing comes out of nothing; everything has its beginning, its origin, its cause.
Like all things, like all peoples, the ancient Greeks have their origins.
These are largely Egyptian, it is clear;
Herodotus notes that the Greek debt to Egypt is such common knowledge that he need not speak of it himself:
"How it happened that Egyptians came to the Peloponnese, and what they did to make themselves kings in that part of Greece, has been chronicled by other writers;
I will add nothing, therefore...." (Histories VI:55)
Even acknowledging this sizable influence, Herodotus would have agreed with Hurwit that all the Greeks borrowed or stole became Greek
Regarding the gods and the rites of their worship, he was convinced of practically all of it being imported from Egypt to Greece.
Iamblichus wrote that Thales of Milete had to make it clear to Pythagoras that the latter had to go to Memphis, in Egypt, to study.
Thales added that it were the Egyptian priests that were a veritable source of knowledge and information.
Thales stated this at a time when he himself was Greece’s most famous and applauded philosopher, even though it would be his protégé Pythagoras who is currently best remembered as the “first philosopher”.
After Socrates’ death, Plato left for Egypt, where he studied for a period of 13 years. His mentor was Sechnuphis, a priest of Heliopolis (modern Cairo and thus near the Great Pyramid).
Years afterwards, Strabo would travel through Egypt.
His Egyptian guide showed him where Plato had lived.
It was how Plato learned the fable of Thoth and Amun, which he wrote down in Phaedros.
Despite its clearly Egyptian source, many “scholars” interpreted that treatise as a “typically Greek” text.
They “explained” their anomalous thinking by arguing that the Greeks “bragged”.
They argued that the Greeks wanted to make their philosophy appear to be much older than it actually was.
Though possible, it is clear that the available evidence (of which we have not even presented one percent) in this case does not warrant such a conclusion.
If the Greeks stated they learned their philosophy from the Egyptians, why not simply accept that?
The answer is clear: whereas the ancient Greeks were completely comfortable with their inheritance of the Egyptian philosophy, modern scholars were not.
As a result, they have had to jump through hoops to explain certain of Plato’s writings.
Greek myths take the evidence further.
They clearly state that the first “Greeks” were Egyptians, who had colonised the Greek isles and mainland.
Diodorus Siculus wrote that Kekrops originated from Egypt and founded Athens as a colony of the Egyptian town of Sais.
The goddess Athena was in truth the Egyptian Neith, matron of the city of Sais.
Two Greek families, the Eumolpidae and the Ceryces, were said to descend from Egyptian priests.
The two families were tasked with the rituals of the goddess Athena.
They stated:“and their offerings and their old ceremonies were practiced by the people of Athens in the same manner as it was held with the ancient Egyptians.
[These two families] are the only Greeks who swear to Isis and they resemble both facially and in mannerisms the Egyptians.”
