To clarify: Plato heard it from Solon. Solon is well regarded as a key figure in Ancient Philosophy. And it was well within his capabilities at the time to travel to Egypt to visit with the priest at Sais. Interestingly, Sais is also claimed as the place Paris and Helen eloped to, but were sent home, the Egyptians realising the problems they were bringing with them.
