What did The Greeks start with?

Most Greeks were illiterate, even more than today.

I DON'T KNOW WHY

tfw sumerian literature was as old to Plato as Plato is to us

The right answers have been given. Every greek intellectual had to take a trip to Egypt at some point in his life, it was a dream come true to visit a more developed civilization. Thales's achievements were mostly knowledge he gathered from the Babylonians. The Greeks respected eastern civilizations a lot and even worshiped a lot of their Gods , while considering north Europeans barbarians. That's why is funny when /pol/ tries to claim WE WUZ GREEKZ N EGYPTIANZ N SHIT etc

wasn't their culture more concentrated on oration and memorization of the spoken word, instead of writing?

>we wuz grekez

The Jews, of course.

ripped off implies plagiarism. The height of each culture was at different points so while the greeks are obviously influenced by the egyptians, they just picked what they liked and worked with that.

where did the Egyptians start from then?

also the Jews.

The Nubians

the ground up

*the boipuss

Where did the Cavemen start from, then?

the mammoths

Alright but what did the Amoeba start with?

The Word

ITT:
Veeky Forums is proving that god exists

Lemuria

>tfw not intelligent enough to prove god on a nepalese stick figure discussion congregation

What did god start with?

The forms

and now we're back to the greeks. come full circle.

the greeks were too busy enslaving and fucking greek ass to read their own shit.

so god is Greek?

yep!

duh
have u never seen a pic of jesus

No, that was the Hebrews.

That's it.
He started from nothing. That's why he's god.

Impossible.

>assigning limited human logic on that which transcends it
pleb

lul

How can you prove it though?

>asking how to prove that which transcends the concept of proof itself
cmon, man.

Copout.

>complaining about something so comfy
u're just mad you can't refute it.

There's nothing to refute. It's a non-argument.

>implying that saying "god exists and is beyond human logic" isn't an argument
try again

*boipvcc

Epic of Gilgamesh and the old gods of Mesopotamia.

>Im great at sex
>prove it
>my sex is so good that is beyond what your limited senses and understanding ability can perceive or comprehend

flaze ekoovolance

They were the first conscious people so they had a field day.

>hey were the first conscious people
fukken sauce

elaborate on why

You cannot apply logic to a concept that transcends the idea of logic

i see no problem with this.

U cannot apply your standards of "orgasm" or "pleasure" to my love making, its beyond your ability to know what good sex is, is that good.

>Didn't start with the greeks
God is a pleb.

Probably not much. 99% of them were illiterate, and the books were super rare. You've read more books than any of the greeks.

Obviously, they started with each other. The adolescent boys with older men, kτλ., kτλ.

Thoth.
