This is a collection of works by ancient writers, travelers, historians, geographers and philosophers who described the customs, way of life, history and country of one of the oldest civilizations in the world — Ancient Egypt. Already in the era of Antiquity, the Greeks and Romans felt awe and sincere interest in ancient Egyptian culture, pantheon and geography, where the main breadwinner of the country, the Nile River, flows from south to north. Since the 7th century BC, the Greeks founded a colony in the land of the pharaohs, the city of Naukratis became the Greek center, and its inhabitants, developing trade, became part of the socio-cultural and synthesis. Among the testimonies of ancient authors, there are mentions of things that, in their opinion, the Greeks borrowed from the Egyptians — the names of individual gods, religious cults and mysteries, the art of divination, geometry, etc.This edition includes fragments of the works of the following authors: Herodotus of Halicarnassus "History", Diodorus Siculus "Historical Library", Strabo "Geography", Flavius Arrian "Anabasis of Alexander", Diogenes Laertius "On the life, teachings and sayings of the famous philosopher", Ammianus Marcellinus "History".
