Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing connections between ancient Egyptian mythology and the story of Jesus as presented in the Christian Gospels. The author contends that a significant portion of Christian history, particularly the narrative of Jesus, existed beforehand as Egyptian myths. These myths, concealed for millennia in hieroglyphics, were inaccessible until their recent decipherment. The author draws parallels between Egyptian deities like Horus, Ra, and Osiris, and Jesus Christ, highlighting striking similarities in their attributes, narratives, and symbolism. The book explores the concept of a mythical Messiah, a recurring motif in various ancient cultures, including Egypt. It suggests that the Jesus of the Gospels might be an amalgamation of these mythical figures, rather than a solely historical individual. By examining astrological events and their alignment with key dates in the Christian calendar, the author proposes an astronomical basis for the story of Jesus. The book delves into the profound influence of Egyptian mythology on early Christian beliefs and practices, arguing that understanding this connection is crucial for a comprehensive grasp of Christian history and theology. Ultimately, this book challenges conventional interpretations of Christian origins, inviting readers to consider the possibility that the story of Jesus is deeply rooted in ancient myths and astronomical phenomena.
