A Tale of Might and Magic!
An absolutely fantastic account of Kemet and ancient Egypt. Though Herodotus bares many flaws creating an entertaining narrative is not one of them. The people searching for historicity should not expect to find it in a Hellenic writers book. And being thwarted first historian even at the biased foundation he was doing something extraordinaire for the times! May Herodotus' words live on!
