#Ancient #Egypt had a perception of their place in history superior to the Ancient Greeks. The Egyptians believe in the #immortality of the soul; they preserved the royal corpses for #millennia on end; they kept meticulous records of the names and years of their kings going back centuries.
Classical #Greece did none of this; nor did they even have a word in their vernacular for an “hour” or any other precise fraction of a day.
