>how does someone who didn't grow up in egypt learn the egyptian language in a few years
Close contact, induction into their traditional rites
>(without grammar books and vocabulary books because those didn't exist back then)
Those definitely existed back then.
>learning a language is not easy even if you have a 160+ iq
It's actually easy if you're not socially autistic or if you're an immigrant

That's right. No ants the size of dogs in Eusebius.

Herodotus is unironically less biased than Thucydides.

Melville is quite a low threshold if that's any consolation. With enough work, you might surpass him as a writer, but you will never surpass him in terms of influence. Not in your lifetime, and neither in those of your children and grandchildren.
So, with that in mind, know that you must write well not for vainglory, but to make another soul feel less lonely for a while. Your readers are waiting for you, scattered across space and time. And if you keep writing and improving, eventually some people will end up preferring your writing over Tolstoy, Dosto, Homer, and Shakespeare.

Just write every day and read a lot. Don't do it for vainglory, do it for your readers, Anon.

To be fair, even people in the ancient world gave Herodotus shit for the crazy stuff he wrote
