Hello. History. Hello, fans of the Egyptian history podcast.

I am Ryan Stitt, host of the History of Ancient

of Ancient Greece, a podcast which tells the political, social, and cultural history of ancient

Greece from the mythical gods on Mount Olympus to the Roman conquest of the last Hellenistic

kingdom, which so happens to have been Egypt.

The ancient Greeks are the foundational civilization of modern Western culture,

but this culture didn't develop in a vacuum,

and the Egyptians had a tremendous impact on the early cultural

development of the Greeks.

From the moment the Bronze Age Manoans and Mycenaean Greeks first penetrated the Nile, they began to learn and transmit ideas back to the mainland.

Because of this cultural interaction, some of the artistic achievements the Greeks are most famous for, we can see clear Egyptian roots.

If you've been to the Acropolis of Athens and seen the Parthenon, and then go to Thebes to see

the temple of Karnak, you will understand what I'm talking about.

The Greeks had at their own flare, but still the influence is there.

In a sense, this is a microcosm of our two podcasts.
