Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical and Miscellaneous Questions for the Use of Young People What nation first established regular government? Most probably the Egyptian; for, long before Joseph was carried into Egypt, Menes, or Misraim, had founded that kingdom. In what state was Egypt when the family of Jacob took refuge there? The hierarchy, or sacred government, was instituted: hieroglyphical characters, and chariots and cavalry for war, were in use among the Egyptians; and mention is made in the Bible of their having, at that time, magi, or wise men, physicians, cities, temples, and other edifices; all of which are proofs of advanced civilisation. When was Egypt opened to the Greeks, and what influence did it exercise upon them? About B.C. 660. From Egypt some religious ideas and rites were introduced into the religion of the Greeks; but as a whole, neither their art nor their civilisation can be said to be derived from that of Egypt. What people introduced the arts of agriculture and commerce? The Egyptians. Who improved the state of commerce? The Phoenicians, who inhabited that part of Syria which lies immediately north of Palestine, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and were, even in the time of Abraham, considered a powerful nation. What was the name of their chief city? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
