A big thank you Malcolm33 that is a very interesting post do you have a suggested book we can read up on the subject It seems to explain so much
There are many books that reveal what really happened, Trees. I was shocked solid when I first discovered the truth about 14 years ago, and yet it really all came out well over a hundred years ago when Sir Wallis Budge published his translations of Egyptian Temple and Tomb texts. Then Gerald Massey spent most of his life working on the material and wrote several books and gave lectures. His last and well known book was 'Ancient Egypt - Light of the World' published 1907 which was available on the net. But Massey was too early and was an easy target for the Church.
Perhaps the best book to start with is "Out of Egypt - the Roots of Christianity Revealed" by Egyptian/British Historian Ahmed Osman. Abe Books have it from less than a Pound now. It was such a best seller that it was reprinted under a new title, "Christianity, an Ancient Egyptian Religion".
However I had to learn Ancient Egyptian myself to check everything I had read, and in doing so I discovered more and more evidence which can be found in "Tears in Heaven" by Ian Ross Vayro from Joshua Books, Queensland. I am named in the leading credits in this book.
Tom Harpur was an ordained Anglican Minister who studied at Oxford and taught Christianity at Toronto University. Like myself he first had doubts after reading "The Jesus Mysteries" by Timothy Freke and that led him to Massey. Tom discarded his long life career and belief and became an author with best sellers like "The Pagan Christ".
But be careful, for I have found errors in just about every book. For example Biblical names are researched in great detail by Ralph Ellis in his "Jesus Last of the Pharaohs" and his "Tempest and Exodus" in which he illustrates names in hieroglyphs and in Ancient Hebrew, yet he is totally wrong in his "Solomon, Falcon of Sheba". There again if I hadn't have read that book I might never have discovered the vital origin of Sheba and her son David/Twt in the Kebra Nagast, the Ethiopian Bible.
My own book is a novel with a number of facts thrown in and detailed in an appendix - see
www.tutankhamencode.com I must add that knowing the origins of the Abrahamic religions enriches the teachings and explains a number of biblical puzzles, like the Fig Tree. It is just a case of getting back to the beginning.
