Well aside from some of the more abusive postings, I think this has been an interesting thread, regardless of the age.

DOH!!! LOL I don't know if I buy the "Jesus as Ra" thing, but I guess anything is possible. I had always kind of thought that when Jesus went away for those years, he was off learning Buddhism, but that's just my own theory....no proof or backup information on that, though I have seen a few similar sentiments from other people over the years.

As for the photo, the one I was talking about was Akhenaten and yes, that third one was Tutankhamen. The original photo was the one I was referring to, not the third one of Tut.

Here's an interesting tidbit of trivia regarding Akhenaten and Tut. Akhenaten was Tut's father and Tut's original name was Tutankhaten, but when Akhenaten died, Tut moved from Amarna and changed the last part of his name to "amen" to distance himself from his father. Don't ask me for links to my "evidence"...my son studied this in homeschool and we have read so many books and watched so many documentaries, I can't begin to tell you which ones I got the info from.

That's a bit like saying the English language is a regurgitation of French. English has Germanic, Latin, Frisian, French and Greek components - and keeps adding them - it's a mongrel language which is probably why its successful.

Christianity has freely borrowed from and co-opted parts of many religions - and vice versa. Mithraism, Egyptian, Norse, Druid etc. It's a mongrel religion which is probably why its successful.

I suppose this is one of those articles that should be revisited, and rewritten...

Though I still stand behind the concept that Christianity is a regurgitation of Egyptian God structure...

It's especially obvious when you see an evolved version in Greek Mythology: I think Zeus looks exactly like Jesus

Not according to what I've read. Amun-Ra wasn't a material incarnation of Ra, Amun was a god in his own right that was merged with Ra

But hey, I learned that Ammonites were named for the curled rams horns of Amun, and Amomia was named because Romans found ammonium chloride near his temple, sal ammoniacus (salt of Amun)

OK I'm a little confused. You originally posted a picture of a statue of Akhenatan, but changed it for a picture of Tutankhamun's coffin?

Ra was portrayed in many different forms but usually with an animal's head - hawk, beetle, ram, serpent, bull, cat etc.

The physical appearance is irrelevant since Ra could change forms at will. (as the mythology claims)

Let me also digress... when I wrote the piece it was in reference to a Nat Geo, or some other television show that suggested the theory that RA was Jesus and posted an image.... it's been so long ago now, I don't know if it was random carelessness or, my belief that- that was Hathor (amun Ra) and therefore the merged Ra personality...

If someone has a better amun ra photo, I'd be glad to update it.... but I've yet to find an online source similar to the ones they showed on that show that addressed the physical similarities of the Ra God.

Actually I must admit I changed it after further review...

Here was the original...

That is a picture of a statue of Akhenaten, not Ra. Akhenaten worshiped the Aten, which was the sun, and an aspect of the God Ra, so maybe you got confused. Interestingly, Akhenaten was the first Pharaoh to embrace monotheism.

Would you provide a link supporting that

This is a statue of Akhenatan

Alternate view

Liv's picture is of a pharaoh's sarcophagus or coffin. Which one is difficult to tell, but it looks like Tutankhamun
