Fragmentary Claim on Ancient Basketball Origins

Disjointed OCR text cites Westeen sources claiming Egyptians played Williams basketball hundreds of years before a Chitetign era, with Greeks and a 400 B C reference. Mentions Charlotte Hornets and a General statement about fear of a town in 176, plus garbled phrases about devices and manatee. The passage is incoherent and unverifiable.
