Samtick, the King of Egypt

Pharao samtic ruled over egypt between six 64 and six ten b c. Much of what we know about him, including his search for the true language, comes from herodotus. The other one is more of a mystery, and he's where we're starting. We covered hecataeus story in our episode the lead age. But the gist of it goes like this: About 100 years before samtic, hecateus visited the eEgyptian temple to track down its genealogy back 16 generations.
