The World according to Herodotus

The World according to Herodotus, probably from the work of Ernest Rhys, Ed., A Literary and Historical Atlas of Asia (New York, NY: E.P. Dutton & CO., 1912)

"The World of Herodotus" - originally "Orbis Herodoti" steel engraving, color, surface, from the album Longman & Co.. c. 1860, signed by S. Hall, Del. et Sculp.

A German map of 1877 based on how Herodotus viewed the world.

The World By Herodotus, by Science Photo Library

I was not able to find more information about the last two maps.

Now, all these are obviously modern reconstructions of the world as described in the work of Herodotus, What I find intriguing is that, although they all share the same big picture, there are also some important differences among them, especially concerning Arabia and the Persian Gulf.

Another remark that I have is that Herodotus is rather sceptical about the existence of the Hyperboreans that almost all of these maps present as part of his world.

Kemet educated Greece. 📜

Long before Europe had universities, Kemet (Ancient Egypt) was the cradle of wisdom, science, and spirituality. Greek thinkers traveled to Kemet to learn—philosophy, mathematics, architecture, medicine, writing. They studied, adapted, and took it home.

Pythagoras spent 22 years in Kemet. Greek math? Built on Kemetic foundations. Columns? Adapted from Kemetic temple architecture. Medicine? Studied in Kemet. Even the Library of Alexandria was built on Kemetic knowledge.

And the Greeks admitted it. Herodotus, Plato, Strabo, Diodorus Siculus—they all acknowledged where it came from.

This is not 'hidden history.' This is history. Period.
