[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: Do you have the complete quote from Didorus Siculus about Sesotris founding Athens? 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]It's releavant simply because we don't have any Athenians living and breathing and Didodorus Siculus is out only means of interpretation. Also the fact that Diodorus Siculus lived around the Roman era and not within the time frame when Athens was first founded. All the other writers you cited lived well after the inception of Athens and I would like also direct quotes from each of them verifying your claims. [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]You ignored my mention of Manetho who was an Egyptian priest that wrote down the histories of the various Egyptian dyansties from the beginning to the end of the dyansties. This is why I asked you wheather Manetho validates Didorus claims or rejects him. Didorus most likely did not read mdu ntr because he was not in the preisthood and lived during the Roman era. Again your calling reserchers ''pale-skin'' supremist is poisoning the well. It does not make any differences to me the hue of the resercher but the data. [QUOTE]Lion! writes: I trust this helps. The Lion![/QUOTE]Unfortunately, it doesn't for I asked for direct quotes from Didorus Siculus and other classical historians. Please when you make claims reference them with direct quotes.
