Told Herodotus noted:

 

“… For Libya shows clearly that it is bounded by the sea,

except where it borders on Asia. Necos king of Egypt

first discovered this and made it known. When he

had finished digging the canal which leads

from the Nile to the Arabian Gulf, he sent Phoenicians

in ships, instructing them to sail on their return voyage

past the Pillars of Heracles until they came

into the northern sea and so to Egypt.

So the Phoenicians set out from the Red Sea

and sailed the southern sea; whenever autumn came

they would put in and plant the land in whatever part

of Libya they had reached, and there await the harvest;

then, having gathered the crop, they sailed on,

so that after two years had passed, it was in the third

that they rounded the pillars of Heracles and came

to Egypt. There they said (what some may believe,

though I do not) that in sailing around Libya

they had the sun on their right hand…” Left
