Summary/Abstract: We got used to consider ancient Greek thought as a cornerstone of our European culture. But let’s not forget that of the philosophers and legislators most important ancient Greece have traveled in Egypt, they spent there several years and was initiated into the ancient mysteries of Egyptian, after which they returned home, making proof of knowledge amazing their contemporaries.
