All the potential facts

5000 BC, mankind organised himself into city-states. One of these great settlements was at the river Nile in Egypt.
The Egyptians civilization, although probably not the oldest, grew to become, perhaps, the greatest of these ancient cultures.
Ancient Egypt, would potential become the beginning of the Liddle/Stephenson family history.
Around about c.5000 BC mankind learnt the art of cultivating crops. The annual flooding of the river Nile valleys , established deposited a rich slit on the surrounding land. The early Egyptians now could cultivate their valley.
The Egyptians, created the first known system of writing. The first started in Samaria in the north-east of Egypt. Their writing system was known as Hieroglyphs.
The Egyptian civilisation flourished for 3000 years. In this 3000 year period, religion was important and service to the royal family was duty not request. In ancient Egyptian belief. The pharaoh the chosen descendent of the gods. GEB the god of earth was believed to be the first true king of Egypt. Egyptians believed that the Pharaoh was the DESCENDENT of GODS they treat their king almost like a true living GOD. This is one of the reasons some people believe the Pharaoh inbred with family members. To pure the blood of the gods descendents.
After many years of independent ruling. Egypt became occupied by the Greeks when Alexander the Great became the Pharaoh of Egypt. It is believed that some of the Egyptians living in Egypt at this time rejected the Greeks leading them and fled Egypt. It is also believed by some that these Egyptians became travellers and kept to them selves. It is believed that these wondering Egyptians may be the direct ANCESTORS of modern day Gypsies. I f this is true then the Liddle/Stephenson ancestry are ancient Egyptians.
I personally believe that the wondering Egyptians ended up in Italy. Then I believe that their descendents ended up in western Europe. At some point ended up in Ireland and then in 1900’s ended up in Northern England. Then one of the Gypsies stepped away from their born heritage and married a average northern English-women and settled down and started the Liddle-Stephenson modern day family.
