The Greeks and Romans once sat at the feet of the Egyptians. Admiration turned into jealousy which leads to contempt. How soon do we forget?
The Greeks visited Egypt (kemet) as students to learn and study things we Africans knew before they later came back to invade and destroy the great libraries and scatter us into different places before the Arabs invaded again.
Plato studied in Egypt for 13 years:
Pythagoras studied philosophy, geometry and medicine in Egypt for 22 years.
Thales, the first Greek philosopher to study in Egypt for 7 years.
Hypocrates, who is called father of medicine, recognized the Egyptian multi genius, Imhotep as the father of medicine.
The "Pythagorean Theorem" used to build pyramids in Egypt 1000 years before Pythagorean was born.
Plato said Egyptian education makes students more alert and humane.
Plato told his students to go to Egypt if they wanted to study the minds of great philosophers.
Heredotus, the Greek historian described ancient Egypt as the cradle of civilization.
Our ancestors opened the doors of our Nation to foreign peoples, these guests were welcomed with respect and honor according to our traditions but they used our kindness to destroy our Nation. #Africa
History:
The truth is during the course of history, Egypt was invaded or conquered by a number of foreign powers, including the Hyksos, the Libyans, the Assyrians, the Achaemenid Persians, and the Macedonians under Alexander the Great.
After the fall of Rome, Egypt became part of the Byzantine Empire, until it was conquered by the Muslim Arabs in 641 CE. Throughout the Middle Ages, from its conquest by the Islamic Empire in the year 641 until 1517, Egypt was governed as part of a series of Arab Caliphates.
The Arab conquest of Egypt, was led by the army of 'Amr ibn al-'As, took place between 639 and again 646 AD and was overseen by the Rashidun Caliphate. It ended the seven-century-long period of Roman reign over Egypt that began in 30 BC.
