Several studies have lent credence to the fact that the very first European scholars were schooled in Egypt by local Africans.
According to Libertywritersafrica.com, popular people in history who were Greeks (Europeans) and whose writings and works are still studied in the modern-day learnt in Egypt.
It is said that Philosopher Plato was a student at the Temple of Waset for 11 years and Aristotle was also a student there for 11-13 years. They reportedly studied at the feet of Egyptian scholars along the Nile Valley, Kemet.

In addition, Pythagoras spent 22 years at the same place and Hippocrates also learned in the same temple for 20 years.
Diodorus, Solon, Thales, Archimedes, and Euripides among several others have also been captured by historical records getting schooled at different times in the African country Egypt.

There is also substantive evidence that half of humanity’s recorded history passed before anyone in Europe could even learn to read and write.
Prominently, St. Clement of Alexandria who is also a Greek scholar once made a profound statement about the historical records.
According to Alexandria, a 1,000-paged book won’t be enough to list out the number of all the Greeks who were schooled by African tutors.
