The original Christianity of Egypt was established by the apostle Mark in AD 42 in Ethiopia (Coptic Church Coptic Orthodox Christianity) where it spread to Europe and some part of Asia.

​

Hippocrates studied there for 20 years, plus a host of other little known Greeks who matriculated at Waset, among whom are Diodorus, Solon, Thales, Archimedes, and Euripides. Greek scholar, St. Clement of Alexandria, once said that if one were to list out the names of all the Greeks who studied under Egyptian tutors, a 1,000 paged book won’t be enough. Even Herodotus mentioned it, same with Plato and Aristotle. The truth is that it took at least 40 years to graduate from Waset, meaning none of the Greek scholars mentioned above even graduated. Till date most European languages even the Current Hebrew language can't give a direct meaning to all biblical names in the Bible on any translated version as most of the names are of African tribal derivatives.
