"The Egypt of the Hebrews and Herodotos" by A. H. (Archibald Henry) Sayce is a historical book that looks at how ancient Egypt connected to the Hebrews, using the writings of the ancient Greek historian, Herodotos. Written in the late 1800s, this book likely wants to give both experts and regular readers interesting historical facts, especially new discoveries from ancient sites. The book starts by talking about why it was written, explaining the need to bring together and explain historical information about Egypt, especially when it involves the Hebrews. Sayce talks about how old Egypt was when Abraham arrived, pointing out its long line of kings, amazing structures like the pyramids, and important people like Herodotos, creating a fascinating beginning for a deeper look into the political atmosphere around those interactions, hinting that there are many historical details still waiting to be discovered.
