Abstract

This paper explains the connections between the practices of the Egyptian Religion in the Third Intermittent period with that of Christianity in Rome. My method involves compiling analysis of scholars, historians and Egyptologists to review andanalyze some of the facts. I then turn to translations of artifacts in order to discern metaphorical meaning from the texts of the Old and New Testaments. I argue that the texts which describe many parts of the Bible are derived from sources of the priests in the Egyptian Religion. The motive for the alterations of the Egyptian religious texts originate from foreigners ingratiating themselves into the Egyptian religion to gain justification. The main conclusion is that the Old and New Testaments express sentiments from sustaining oracles for a general reversion to the polytheistic practices of Egypt-- through the god Amun.
