“Greece Wasn’t the Beginning — The Historians Said It”Added:
Greece is often called the beginning of knowledge. But even Greek writers said something very different. They spoke about traveling, learning and studying in older civilizations.
Herodotus wrote about Egypt. Plato spoke about ancient societies that existed long before Greece. So if Greek thinkers were learning from others, then Greece cannot be the origin. It becomes a continuation. So the real question is who were their teachers?
