what i learned from the people the egyptians themselves proved to be just as fascinating as the archaeological remnants because when i asked them what they believe the origin of the temple sites were in their own backyard what they told me is that egypt is much much older than traditional archaeology has been led to believe and that the ancient egyptians did not even call themselves egyptians there was a time that egypt was known as when i came away from those early conversations i think the phrase that stuck with me the most when i asked about who
were these first people the phrase that came across so many times were the words septepi septepi and what this literally translates into it means the first time and it strongly implies that egypt has evolved over a period of cycles or phases
