[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] kenndo - What you fail to understand, is that the influx of Whites into the ancient civilized world, can be traced with reasonable accuracy. There is no need to assume or to mystify it. [b]EGYPT[/b] Concerning the first Greeks in Egypt. I would certainly not tell you to take Herodotus as the ultimate source, but he does give a benchmark as to how and when the Greeks themselves saw their entry into Egypt. (Remember these Herodotus books were intended for Greeks - so THEY believed it to be true). [i]The Persian Wars by Herodotus Book 2 - EUTERPE (2:152) Psammetichus (Psamtik I - 664 B.C.) sent to the city of Buto, where there is an oracle of Latona, the most veracious of all the oracles of the Egyptians, and having inquired concerning means of vengeance, received for answer that "Vengeance would come from the sea, when brazen men should appear." Great was his incredulity when this answer arrived, for never, he thought, would brazen men arrive to be his helpers. However, not long afterwards certain Carians and Ionians who had left their country on a voyage of plunder, were carried by stress of weather to Egypt where they disembarked, all equipped in their brazen armour, and were seen by the natives, one of whom carried the tidings to Psammetichus, and, as he had never before seen men clad in brass, he reported that brazen men had come from the sea and were plundering the plain. Psammetichus, perceiving at once that the oracle was accomplished, made friendly advances to the strangers, and engaged them, by splendid promises, to enter into his service. He then, with their aid and that of the Egyptians who espoused his cause, attacked the eleven and vanquished them.[/i] [b]See? It's just plain history. No need to dig your heels in, or to take the word of anyone, or to treat it as religion, where you declare, "I believe". None of that is necessary, just research and READ![/b] [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Images_Egypt/Psamtik.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
