The Greek Egyptian Before I start this off, I need to say one thing. If you think this is just a work of fiction, I envy you, truly. But, if, and just if, you think you can find yourself in these pages, the you need to, stop reading, and burn this book, and belive what ever lie your parents have told you about the world. Now that I 'm done, let 's continue with the story. The following is a transcript of a recording I recived at my residence, about a year after The Serpent 's Shadow. As all of you previous readers know, I wasn 't supposed to be recieving anymore recordings, but I did. The previous paragraph was a message that the teller of this story told me to tell you. If this is true, this is worse than Aphophis, yeah, it 's that bad. Well, I better get on with it. It seemed like a regular summer morning. Well, at least as normal as it can get for a demi-god. Oh yeah, by the way, the Greek and Roman gods are real, and they have a lot of kids. I 'm one of those kids, son of Apollo, god of a lot of stuff. Since Apollo has a lot of control over a lot of stuff, his kids can be pretty powerful, but of course, not as powerful as the Big Three. I, specifficaly, have control over the sun. Meaning, that I can rasie, and lower, the temperature, I can change the color of the sunlight, and I can shot bolts of sun stuff. Also, my great-great grandfather was a son of Poseidon, so I have extremley little control over water, but it 's still there. So yeah. I woke up around 5
Ancient Egypt is the origin to one of the most intricate belief systems in the world. This polytheistic religion was composed of various beliefs and rituals.

The main idea of Stolen Legacy is to prove that the ancient Egyptian teachings and education was taught to certain historical figures, was then brought to Athens and taught there and then passed of as Greek philosophy, basically Stolen. Men that went down in history as "great philosophers" or " great thinkers" were the ones that made it seem as if they were creating this knowledge. Men such as Socrates, who was from Athens; Plato, also from Athens; and even Aristotle who was from Greece but was forced to leave when Socrates was sentenced to death.
When people even mention ancient egypt, loads of things pop up like mummies, ruins,deaths,chaos, and none reasoning time period.

The Ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamia, and Greeks were some of the oldest complex societies, although similar in many aspects. Mesopotamia is located in the Fertile Crescent, land in and between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers usually known as modern day Iraq and Eastern Syria.(24) In Egypt, the Nile River creates a fertile valley which is rich in nutrients and essential to their survival. The Nile flows from Burundi, slightly south of the equator eventually traveling through Egypt and into the Mediterranean. Ancient Greece is situated very closely to Egypt so trading was easy between them. How are these three civilizations comparable and different?
Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt are both cradles of civilization. Both contributed greatly to human development through their achievements, failures, peoples, scientific accomplishments, philosophies, religions, and contributions.

All of the things that we see today have been in some way shape or form improved upon to stand the test of time. From the structures of buildings, religion and pyramids, to the influence of art, it all played a part.
