I have just finished reading The Pagan Christ by Tom Harpur. There are too many similarities between Horus and Christ to reject the author's claim that the story of Jesus Christ was plagiarised from much earlier Egyptian mythology.

Everything you say in your original note to this thread is relatively trivial compared to one doctrine from the Egyptian religions that both the Pharisees and the Christians expropriated: the raising of a dead physical body from the grave.

Jesus taught the Doctrine of "resurrection" as, instead, a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'.

For anyone who is interested in this subject, I have started a thread "Resurrection" & 'Rebirth'.

Re: the story of Egyptian god Horus

I'm not sure where people are getting that Jesus was based on Horus except for the madonna and child art in which both Horus and Jesus are depicted as the baby. Please realize that such representations of mother and child are hardly unique to any culture, but have been a favorite theme of artists since time began.

I have read extensively the translations of the Egyptian stele by E.A. Wallis Budge and other Egyptologists and have not encountered the following assertions about Horus found in this video:
- that he married his mother
- that he had 12 disciples
- that his mother was a virgin
- that he was born on Dec. 25th
- that he was visited by 3 kings

I believe all of these statements about Horus to be falsified.

Rather, Horus is "the double-wanded one," meaning he was a hermaphrodite, and most probably a twin.
- During his contentions with Set, he cut off the head of his mother and replaced it with the head of a cow
- As a child, he was bitten by a snake sent by Set and nearly killed, and left crippled
- He was born "in November" or "the unluckiest month of the year," at the end of the queue of the other gods
(Now, it is believed that Jesus was born in August during a planetary conjunction that would explain the bright star. The December Christmas feast comes from the pagan/celtic culture for the winter solstice and has absolutely nothing to do with our Jewish friend)

If anyone has some actual Egyptian sources to substantiate the fabrications about the god that some say is the "god of the new aeon," I would be very interested to see them.

Horus is in no way Jesus or a Jesus pre-cursor except for in some mis-interpreted artwork, and should not be confused as such. Understanding the nature of this god is terribly important at this time or I wouldn't say anything. Horus demands to be understood and understood correctly. And that goes doubly for Christ.

While much of what you say is true, the Budge translations are outdated (and in some case are wrong).

You're right, and they're based on someone writing in the 1700's, before anyone could translate hieroglyphs. He was just looking at temple walls and drawing wild conclusions.

Rather, Horus is "the double-wanded one," meaning he was a hermaphrodite, and most probably a twin.

That's a modern invention; none of the above applies to Horus.

- During his contentions with Set, he cut off the head of his mother and replaced it with the head of a cow

Actually, it was Thoth who replaced her head with that of a cow.

- As a child, he was bitten by a snake sent by Set and nearly killed, and left crippled

Some source you read is confusing mythologies. He was bitten and nearly killed, but not left crippled.

- He was born "in November" or "the unluckiest month of the year," at the end of the queue of the other gods

Actually, they didn't have "unluckiest months" and his birth date was in March (28th or thereabouts) :

No, but I can give you ancient sources that knock the whole thing over (including the 4 sons of Horus and his hatching out from an egg).

Horus is in no way Jesus or a Jesus pre-cursor except for in some mis-interpreted artwork, and should not be confused as such.

Very true.

Get your fill of new age mysticism yet? I always thought Christianity was based on Christ. In fact, it is.

Why are these 10 figures just like Jesus Christ??
