According to Eusebius, Suphis (Khufu\/Cheops) built the Great Pyramid of Giza. Herodotus records the same tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than dwelling on the subdivisions of the dynasties, I shall proceed to the general conclusions concerning the kings and rulers of Egypt, as presented on page 120 of Manetho’s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The Greeks in Egypt held authority not as dynastic Pharaohs, but with the consent of the Egyptian people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. With very few exceptions, the Pharaohs were Greeks or of Greek descent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The names borne by the Pharaohs that do not appear Greek are so because they were adapted to the popular Egyptian language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. What linguist would deny that the names of the Pharaohs\u00a0Sethos<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Hermaios<\/strong>\u00a0are Greek? And that the eldest son of Sethos (or Aegyptus), who was called\u00a0Rampses<\/strong>, is none other than Ramses (Ramesses) the Great?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Josephus, in his work\u00a0Against Apion<\/em>, states that Sethos was also called\u00a0Aegyptus<\/strong>, while his brother was\u00a0Danaus<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The names of the Pharaohs discussed in our other commentaries have preserved their Greek spelling and pronunciation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. According to the historical records, the leprous compatriots of Osarsiph (who later called himself Moses) were expelled from Egypt in 1445 BC by the Greek Pharaohs Sethos and Armais. From that time, the hatred of this people toward the Greeks is said to have begun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. During the dynasty of the Rampsides (1200\u20131085 BC), the great sanctuary of\u00a0Ammon Zeus<\/strong>\u00a0was established at Thebes in Egypt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Africanus writes that during the reign of\u00a0Petubastes<\/strong>, the first Olympic Games were held (776\u2013775 BC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Psammetichus I<\/strong>\u00a0(664\u2013610 BC) became the popular king of the Egyptians and Ethiopians. He ruled wisely, restored the country’s independence, and revived its cultural heritage. His daughter\u00a0Nitocris<\/strong>\u00a0inherited the exalted position of consort and sacred servant of the god\u00a0Ammon Zeus<\/strong>. Psammetichus and his son\u00a0Necho<\/strong>\u00a0liberated the surrounding regions (Ethiopia, Syria, and Palestine) from barbarian invaders (Herodotus 2.152.2). They further strengthened friendly and commercial relations with the cities of the Mediterranean. Necho also attempted to dig a canal linking the Nile with the Red Sea, although the project remained unfinished.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. These events took place more than three and a half thousand years ago. Today, circumstances have changed. The Greeks were never dogmatic and never harbored hatred toward the Jews. They have consistently lived alongside them in harmony, as was demonstrated during the German Occupation of Greece. These are two historic and long-suffering peoples\u2014small in number, yet exceptionally creative. The Greeks have contributed to humanity primarily in the realm of the spirit, while the Jews have contributed in many ways in the material sphere. Today, Greece and Israel face the same barbaric and authoritarian enemy and are strategic allies for reasons of national survival. Therefore, the Greeks have never allowed the distant past to determine their attitude toward the present, and they regard the alliance between Greece and Israel as both necessary and highly beneficial in our time.\u00a0(17 July 2026)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
