In this video, the host examines the claims made by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus about the legendary Pharaoh Casis, who ruled Egypt over 15,000 years ago. Herodotus claimed that Casis was the greatest king of Egypt, who conquered vast territories in the Arabian Peninsula, Syria, Palestine, Anatolia, and Ethiopia. He left pillars and stone monuments in the lands he conquered inscribed with his name and the assertion that he had vanquished them. Herodotus encountered some of these pillars during his travels, and many still exist in Palestine and Syria.
However, Herodotus's account of Casis's reign is hazy and vague, and little is known about the extent of his conquests. Nevertheless, the host argues that Herodotus's description of Casis's achievements is impressive, considering the technology and resources available in ancient times, and that his legacy is still visible in the relics scattered across the known world.
