Φοινίκεια δὲ τὰ γράμματα ἐλέγοντο, ὥς φησιν Ἔφορος ὁ Κυμαῖος καὶ Ἡρόδοτος , ἐπεὶ Φοίνικες εὗρον αὐτά•

Ἐτεωνεὺς δὲ καὶ Μένανδρος, ἐπειδὴ ἐν πετάλοις φοινικείοις ἐγράφοντο•

The history which you reffer to is partially not persuasive. You do not say at times where you get the information from. I will tell you some things which are more accurate than yours.

Let me start from Herodotus. First of all you should know that Herodotus did not know Egyptian.. In all his phrases conserning the Eguptians he says IT SEEMS TO ME. δοκει εμοι. The phrase IT SEEMS TO ME IS NOT SCIENTIFIC.

The phrase I say what the Egyptians say, ⟨⟨Λέγω δὲ τὰ λέγουσι αὐτοὶ Αἰγύπτιοι⟩⟩ shows that there is no writing in Egypt.. If there is no written language, there is no linguistic heritage. if there is no language, let me say, there is no culture. It seems to me that all caltural things have been introduced to them because they are unable to use them. I refer to writting.

It seems to me, we learn from Herodotus, that the coptics were not Egyptians.

Herodotus says
All those CARES who are living in Egypt are Coptics and this is a proof that they are foreighners and not Egyptians.

⟨⟨Ὅσοι δὲ Καρῶν εἰσι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ
οἰκέοντες, οὗτοι δὲ τοσούτῳ ἔτι πλέω ποιεῦσι τούτων ὅσῳ
καὶ τὰ μέτωπα κόπτονται μαχαίρῃσι, καὶ τούτῳ εἰσὶ δῆλοι
ὅτι εἰσὶ ξεῖνοι καὶ οὐκ Αἰγύπτιοι.⟩⟩
Is it possible that they are Greeks? Spartans? Lacedaimons?

Herodotus says: I say what the Egyptians say ⟨⟨Λέγω δὲ τὰ λέγουσι αὐτοὶ Αἰγύπτιοι⟩⟩

It seems to me there is no writing in Egypt. I am sure that if Herodotus knew Egyptian would have understood that he converses with people uneducated. ( it is well known he went there with someone who knew Egyptian.).

You say that the Phoenicians brought the alphabet to Greece. I want to ask: Then what happened? Did they leave it in Greece and they left? Where is their language? Where are their literary and philosophical and scientific books? Do the Phoenicians have Homer, Aeschylys, Euripides, Sophocles, Pato, Aristotle, Galenos?.

By the way, do you know what doctor Galenus said 1800 years ago;
those who were born barbarians, are jealous of the Greek civilization goals.
⟨⟨ ὅσοι τῷ γένει μὲν ἔφυσαν βάρβαροι, ζηλοῦσι δὲ τὰ τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἐπιτηδεύματα ⟩⟩.

From Homer we know that the Phoenicians were crooks and rodents and not philosophers and philologists.

Homer
⟨⟨ ἀλλ’ ὅτε δὴ ὄγδοόν μοι ἐπιπλόμενον ἔτος ἦλθε,
δὴ τότε Φοῖνιξ ἦλθεν ἀνὴρ ἀπατήλια εἰδώς,
τρώκτης, ὃς δὴ πολλὰ κάκ’ ἀνθρώπους ἐεόργει ⟩⟩

But when the eighth year in sea came,
then a Phoenix man came knowing deceptive things,
a rodent, planing many bad things for people

The Phoenicians before 1200 B.C. they were Greeks, and because they were bad Greeks, they ceased to exist and took their position other barbarians (you know who they are) and now we have the barbarian Phoenicians.

Talking about Homer, many “historians” want him to have lived around 800 B.C.
The explossion of the volcano of Santorini (thyra) <> took place around 1600 B.C. This is well known.
Homer does not mention anything about it and those who have read Homers poetry know very well that if the explossion of the volcano had taken place before Homer , he would have said a lot about it.

Shall we say Homer lived around 3600 B.C.? If we shall, then the barbarian Phoenicians had a chance to learn writing in 1200 B.C. but they had other things in mind.

It is well Known by all civilized men that Homer has educated the human kind.
Plato has said: This poet has educated Greece. τὴν Ἑλλάδα πεπαίδευκεν οὗτος ὁ
ποιητὴς

All affords to prove that this is not true has led to nowhere. Lately, they, the antigreek minds, Knowing that the ‘egyptians’ and the ‘phoenicians’ did not do the job, invented the INDOEUROPEANS. Does any one know of an indoeuropean book I can read.? I myself do not know.

Comming to the end, I want to repeat what many intellectuals have said.

IF WE TAKE AWAY FROM PEOPLES’ LANGUAGES ALL THE GREEK WORDS, THAN THE NON-HUMAN ANIMALS WILL BE SUPERIOR TO HUMANS.
