[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lion!: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [qb] Do you have the complete quote from Didorus Siculus about Sesotris founding Athens? [/qb][/QUOTE]Lion! writes: What relevance is this question to the fact that it is universally acknowledge that the ancient Athenians had a view of themselves as a former Egyptian colony? Ancient writers like Homer, Solon, Pythagoras, Socrates, Diodorus Siculus, Herodotus, Heliodotus, Tacitus, all believed that ancient Egypt had a founding influence on ancient Greece. Would you seriously doubt the veracity of the eye witness? [QUOTE] Also how dependable is Didorus Siculus for ancient Egyptian history? Did he know Mdu ntr or talk to the priests of ancient Egypt? Does Manetho support Didorus Siculus assertions? [/QUOTE]Lion! writes: You and me do not know whether he spoke or read Mdu ntr. But we know he saw the ancient Greeks, saw their culture, saw them at work and at play. I would sooner give him credence than the pale-skin supremaciest agenda inspired archealogical mis-interpretations. [QUOTE]This is all I ask. [/QUOTE]Lion! writes: I trust this helps. The Lion!
