ALLEGORY ON ANCIENT EGYPT

Ancient Egypt peaked in the 4th-5th Dynasties, its pyramid age, the height of its mathematical, engineering, social and philosophical wisdom. It then coasted. It rested for thousands of years, being sure of itself. While it repined, its supremacy was flowing downhill to the Mediterranean from the apex of science and philosophy, like the hare's big lead in Aesop's fable. Like the plodding tortoise in Aesop's fable other nations took advantage of Egyptian rest to catch up with the African nation in their new version of parallel science, math, and philosophy. When Africans awakened they discovered that they had not only been stripped of global supremacy, but were now chattel slaves, enchained in mental, physical, spiritual, social slavery: beholden to tortoises from former days. Aesop, an African sage, who was also himself a literary slave in Greece, looked, lamented and spoke in metaphors for the blessed in future times who could decode his allegorical use of animals and nature. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tortoise_and_the_Hare?fbclid=IwAR0-PGE8QybENM1blgTf9oXqUXM_iPhYz-NXfeXURpwkVpolOR5aWcM73Gw
