Does this at least make sense?

If you want to be a historian, then you need to major in history in undergrad - because you’ll need a PhD in history, and in order to do that you need basically the equivalent of a bachelor’s in history as a foundation. A philosophy major won’t help you get there. It’s a different approach and theoretical framework.

However, if you are interested in ancient history, you don’t have to major in ancient history in college. A regular history major is fine. You specialize in graduate school; in undergrad, you just need a well-rounded foundation in the field. So if they have a history major, you can absolutely go there and major in history.
