3. Herodotus Book 2 Herodotus's account of Egyptian life after the invasion by the Persians. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/GreekScience/hdtbk2.html

Herodotus Book 2 Chapter 1 [1] After the death of Cyrus, Cambyses inherited his throne. He was the son of Cyrus and of Cassandane, the daughter of Pharnaspes, for whom Cyrus mourned deeply when she died before him, and had all his subjects mourn also. [2] Cambyses was the son of this woman and of Cyrus. He considered the Ionians and Aeolians slaves inherited from his father, and prepared an expedition against Egypt, taking with him some of these Greek subjects besides others whom he ruled. Chapter 2 [1] Now before Psammetichus became king of Egypt, the Egyptians believed that they were the oldest people on earth. But ever since Psammetichus became king and wished to find out which people were the oldest, they have believed that the Phrygians were older than they, and they than everybody else. [2] Psammetichus, when he was in no way able to learn by inquiry which people had first come into being, devised a plan by which he took two newborn children of the common people and gave them to a shepherd to bring up among his flocks. He gave instructions that no one was to speak a word in their hearing; they were to stay by themselves in a lonely hut, and in due time the shepherd was to bring goats and give the children their milk and do everything else necessary. [3] Psammetichus did this, and gave these instructions, because he wanted to hear what speech would first come from the children, when they were past the age of indistinct babbling. And he had his wish; for one day, when the shepherd had done as he was told for two years, both children ran to him stretching out their hands and calling "Bekos!" as he opened the door and entered.

4. Herodotus: Xerxes At The Hellespont Translation of a brief story in which the Greek historian depicts the great Xerxes as a superstitious fool and a bloodthirsty tyrant. The Persian army is preparing to cross the Hellespont, which separated Asia from Europe. http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~wldciv/world_civ_reader/world_civ_reader_1/herodotus.ht

Herodotus: The Histories: Xerxes at the Hellespont (mid 5th Century BCE) What incidents described below depict Xerxes as superstitious? As tyrannical? They then began to build bridges across the Hellespont from Abydos to that headland between Sestus and Madytus, the Phoenicians building one of ropes made from flax, and the Egyptians building a second one out of papyrus. From Abydos to the opposite shore it is a distance of almost two-thirds of a mile. But no sooner had the strait been bridged than a great storm came on and cut apart and scattered all their work. Xerxes flew into a rage at this, and he commanded that the Hellespont be struck with three hundred strokes of the whip and that a pair of foot-chains be thrown into the sea. It's even been said that he sent off a rank of branders (1) along with the rest to the Hellespont! He also commanded the scourgers to speak outlandish and arrogant words: "You hateful water, our master lays his judgement on you thus, for you have unjustly punished him even though he's done you no wrong! Xerxes the king will pass over you, whether you wish it or not! It is fitting that no man offer you sacrifices, (2)

The Histories Prologue Herodotus of Halicarnassus hereby publishes the results of his inquiries, hoping to do two things: to preserve the memory of the past by putting on record the astonishing achievements both of the Greek and the non-Greek peoples; and more particularly, to show how the two races came into conflict. These are the confident opening lines of Herodotus' Histories , and the Greeks who heard them must have been surprised. Preserving the memory of the past by putting on record certain astonishing achievements was not unusual, but the bards who had been singing legendary tales had been less pretentious. Even the great poet

The Persian Wars by Herodotus The HTML text provided here originally came from the ASCII format provided at gopher://gopher.vt.edu:10010/10/33 . Since the original Internet text was not indexed, I added the paragraph index marker system which was used in The Modern Library edition of Rawlinson's text, published under the title of The Persian Wars by Herodotus 1942. Hopefully they represent a standard notation for referencing the text. In addition, at each visible paragraph marker there is also a HTML link, which will aid in cross referencing the text. The Internet ASCII source was a translation of Herodotus by George Rawlinson. The Modern Library version is very similiar, but it reflects editor updates.

13. True Strength Hercules And Amazon; Africa's Native Heroes Yesterday, Today And T Herodotus wrote about Hercules as being Ethiopian and Egyptian in origin. This book excerpt reveals that Hercules was actually of African descent. http://pages.prodigy.net/saraswati/

True Strength Hercules and Amazon; Africa's Native Heroes Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: The Heroic African Legacy! Forget what you learned in the movies, this is the REAL HERCULES!!! " Black he stood as night, His bow uncased, his arrow strung for flight". Homer wrote this verse to describe the legendary first world hero known as Hercules. The first verse with some modification could also be true of the legendary first world heroine, the Amazon. They were two African world teachers who left a legacy of goodwill which was emulated by their successors. Hercules and Amazon were the prototypes of the solar hero and heroine whose origins in Africa came forth as inspiration in the development of schools. In Ethiopia schools were established for the training of the mind, body and will. Training and education for these schools spread to Egypt, the Middle East, India, Ireland, and other places in Europe. In every era and in various countries men and women and men trained and educated themselves to help humanity. This is even true today. These helpers were teachers, the first law enforcement officers, and ambassadors of good will whereever they traveled. They encouraged the arts and sciences too. Stories of their great deeds have come to our present age as legends. Myths behind the stories are elements of historical events. Hollywood has erroneously presented Hercules and Amazon exclusively as heroes of European ancestry , and without emphasis on their role as teachers.

15. Pyramidology: Essays About The Egyptian Pyramids A study of the logistical aspects of Egyptian pyramid construction in the 25th century BC by civil engineer Peter Prevos. Includes bibliography and links to Herodotus's comments on pyramidbuilding. http://www.geocities.com/pprevos/pyramid/

Peter Prevos (July 2005) Search this website All content on this website, unless otherwise noted, is licensed under a Creative Commons License The Egyptian pyramids at Giza have caused enourmous controversy between egyptologists and researchers who do not agree with the established theories, the so called pyramidologists, regarding their purpose, origins and construction. On this website I have published my own research on the construction of the pyramids, the geometry of the pyramids and esoteric theories regarding the pyramids. I am convinced that the ancient Egyptians, as described by traditional Egyptology, built the pyramids and saying anything else is an insult to human intelligence and endurance. I am very interested in esoteric theories regarding the pyramids, not because I believe they are correct, but because they are an interesting aspect of contemporary culture. I have used a wide range of literature in my research, read the bibliography for an overview. My research is ongoing and this page will be evolving over time, so please come again.
