The earliest periods in history, in Egyptian history, dynastic Egyptian history, they haven't really figured out how to make circular standing columns. So they have these columns that are attached to walls.
The earliest periods in history, in Egyptian history, dynastic Egyptian history, they haven't really figured out how to make circular standing columns. So they have these columns that are attached to walls.
But the design of these Doric-looking columns, they're not Doric, they're Egyptian, and it's the Dorians, which are really just Greeks, that come down into Egypt all throughout history, maybe over 2,000 years after these columns are put up, and they're like... This is really, really nice. We could make this out of marble.

Look at the way that, you know, look at the way that each one of these limestone blocks are something different. We don't have the stable, huge granite stones back in Egypt that you can lift this giant stone up and it doesn't crack in half, but we have marble. We can make this out of marble. Let's do that. They go, and then the whole design of Greek columns, these big marble temples, they're

That's derivative of, or it's built on top of the columns that they took out of Egypt, that design there. And it is so obvious when you're there looking at it. And so, you know, who really knows? I mean, here's something else. The Olympics. We didn't even talk about that, but it's too much to go into. But, you know, we get organized sports from the Greeks as well.

Well, when the Greeks are trying to figure out... So as the Olympics start becoming really, really popular, I should have said the Olympics are the thing that's most similar to the Coliseum that the Greeks have, but I think the theater is actually more important. But when the Greeks are trying to figure out a good philosophy for,

But when the Greeks are trying to figure out a good philosophy for,
as to how to allow other Greek states or other people on the fringes of the Greek world to participate in the Olympics, the Greeks are trying to figure out, well, how exactly do we do this? And they couldn't figure it out. So they go down to Thebes in Egypt or Luxor in Egypt, and they speak to these priests there, or were they Egyptian philosophers? What was going on there?

It's invisible in Egypt. We don't know. Um, but we know that the, that the Greeks were going down there to get wisdom from the Egyptians and that, and that a lot of Greek wisdom is derivative of, of things that were going on in Egypt, but it's this invisible chapter of history. And I just, I just love that.
