A brief history about philosophy and science

HISTORY ABOUT PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE  Philosophy began in Ancient Egypt & science began in Ancient Sumerian  Philosophy, science, and logic were not born in ancient Greece, as they existed in ancient Egypt centuries ago. Greek philosophers learned this information by going to Egypt and Mesopotamia. First of all, the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Sumerian and Indian cultures are more ancient and older than the Ancient Greek culture.  Science and wisdom in Mesopotamia and especially Egypt were held in high esteem by the Greeks. Although it was an expensive journey, going to Egypt and getting an education was as valuable as going to American universities and getting a doctorate today. For this reason, the majority of Greek philosophers went to Egypt. They wrote down the information they learned there as if they had discovered it themselves  THALES is considered the founder of philosophy.

THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

  FLUTE IS THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT  At least that appears likely.  Found in  Slovenia, in a cave that was inhabited by Neanderthals,  the 4.5-inch cave bear femur has four spaced, similarly-sized holes in a line in a recognizable musical scale. Even though the odds of that happening by chance are slim, much of the scientific community has rejected the idea that Neanderthals had the cognitive ability and creativity to make music, much less a flute to produce it. The main competing hypothesis is that carnivores made the holes while chewing the bone. In all fairness, both ends of the article do appear to have suffered gnawing. But experiments have shown that it would be nearly impossible for carnivores to produce the holes on the thickest and most rigid part of the bone without breaking it. And no match could be found for any animal to make two of the holes at a time.  A reconstructed model of the flute  has been used to produce good qua...
