And there's also a Tripoli in Lebanon as well as Libya 🤔

[@Lp-army1]

Make sense bc phonecians

[@Aalien31]

Tri means three and Polis means city in greek, both city were made of 3 colonies at first.

[@TheRedBaron1917]

@Aalien31 mono means one and rail means rail

[@Rynewulf]

'three cities', its the same as there having been multiple pentapolis' and decapolis' and such as well

[@UGNAvalon]

I guess it’s the equivalent of saying “tri-state area” ?

[@germanshepherd2701]

“Their quirks became our puzzles” is probably a great way to think about history tbh. I’m sick of people thinking of Grand elaborate and unlikely conspiracy webs for everything and holding onto them religiously. We should seek answers, but that’s not actually what those type of people end up doing 90% of the time…

[@GeorgeEstregan828]

Alexandria: lol

[@mokarokas-1727]

Well, at least all of those have one clear and common origin.

[@TheRedBaron1917]

Also both the United States and Ancient Egypt have cities named Memphis that are home to pyramids. Coincidence? 🤔

[@mokarokas-1727]

Yes, clearly a coincidence. Just like York and New York.

[@TheRedBaron1917]

[@revilsanjiani146]

The United States ALSO have cities similar to ancient greece like Athens Tennessee. Coincidence????

[@andrejmaslo5056]

Cairo Egypt, Cairo Illinois

[@Rafael__]

Also, just like Egypt, the US seems to have preference for mummies as rulers

[@VasileIuga]

We can always choose to use the original names.

[@christermi]

Greek names are cooler.

[@mlgdigimon]

@@christermino they aren’t

[@conayinka]

​@@christermi colonizer names should never be used over the names of the indigenous people. I think pakistani city names sound cooler than English ones. Would you be okay with English cities being renamed by their new population cause the names "sound cooler"?. Egyptian history has already been wiped by Greeks, Arabs, and Europeans for thousands of years, we are more socially aware now and should strive to protect people's ancient heritage

A pity that Stargate "commited sudoku".

Please recommend some books of battles of medieval india with battles details.

[@EstbXCIII]

I love learning about European history since I'm a descendant of them.. but I'd definitely watch videos about ancient India and it's battles

[@EstbXCIII]

Do you know any good channels about Indian history but in English?

Interesting.

[@mrgopnik5964]

It’s also a pretty fun story why everyone calls Greeks some sort this word (Greeks, Gurci, Griechen, Gracci, etc.) while they call themselves “Hellenes”

[@official.stk_macc2035]

I'm sure some pseudoarcheologist has an entertaining theory.

[@natheriver8910]

Very interesting

Keep scrolling if you're looking for a stargate comment.

[@naebhor6931]

Maybe the names changed during the rule of Alexander the Great, I forget if he was II or III, or the Diadochi after him.

[@JR-zi9vj]

I love imagining the atupidity of ancient humans when we look into topics like this " romanius we need a name for this city, uhhhh just name it thebes tooo"

[@dimitrioszagreas2338]

we have 3 thebes on earth one in Greece one in egypt and one in the Himalayias tibet

[@TheArklyte]

So that's not egyptian names for their cities, it's the names from greek sources of questionable quality?

[@user-es9nd8fq7w]

IS THAT A BLUE ARCHIVE REFERENCE????

[@Beavereaver]

Going to abydos through the stargate.

[@Bittertruthofall]

It's "Thebes" because of a thing called "interpretatio Graeca"

[@TheGoldenSage]

Who are we, but shadows and dust

[@isocrates0001]

Its cause greece was colonized by peoples from egypt besides other places the primary greek historical sources and myths relate this fact

There are three vilages in Slovakia and one in Serbia sharing the same name... I heard simmular thing is in Poland It isnt rly unussual

[@MrDabomb647]

Could it be from the end of the bronze age and the invasion of the sea peoples?
