Are Horus And Jesus The Same?
With the success of the internet movie “ZEITGEIST” there has been a great deal of interest in the Egyptian religion, especially as regards how it is related to Christianity. One of the most intriguing aspects of this subject concerns the comparisons between the Egyptian god Horus and the Judeo-Christian godman Jesus Christ.
In my book “The Christ Conspiracy,” released in 1999, I created a list of several characteristics attributed to Horus, including the following:
* Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.
* His earthly father was named “Seb” (“Joseph”).
* He was of royal descent.
* At age 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was baptized, having disappeared for 18 years.
* Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus or Iarutana (Jordan) by “Anup the Baptizer” (“John the Baptist”), who was decapitated.
* He had 12 disciples, two of whom were his “witnesses” and were named “Anup” and “Aan” (the two “Johns”).
* He performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised El-Azarus (“El-Osiris”) from the dead.
*Horus walked on water.
And so on, through several more profound and germane correspondences.
The bulk of these attributes I have demonstrated in my nearly 600-page book “Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection,” using thousands of pages of primary sources and the works of highly credentialed experts in relevant fields. “Christ in Egypt” includes
