Abstract

Throughout history, people have explored other cultures and shared knowledge often hidden behind ideas, traditions, practices, and customs. This cultural dynamism has enriched these cultures, including Western culture. In this regard, the Greek foundations of European civilization are strongly influenced and impacted by Egyptian civilization (Powell & Frankenstein, 1997).
