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 chapters on the following subjects:

* Horus as the sun god.

* Horus battling the Prince of Darkness, Set or Seth.

* His birthday on December 25th or the winter solstice.

* His mother’s name or title being “Meri” or “Mery.”

* The star in the east and the wise men at Horus’s birth.

* Horus at the ages of 12 and 30.

* “Anup the Baptizer”.

* Horus’s 12 followers.

* His performing miracles, walking on water, healing the sick and raising the dead.

* The Egyptian gods’ many epithets such as “the Truth, the Light and the Good Shepherd.”

* Horus as “crucified.”

* The burial for three days and the resurrection, etc.

I have also written articles in support of several of these contentions, including about Horus in cruciform or as “crucified” and his father being “Seb” who was a tekton or “carpenter.”

In the article about Horus being “crucified,” I conclude:

“As revealed in my books ‘Christ in Egypt’ and ‘Suns of God,’ there is much more to the subject of Pagan gods and goddesses on a cross or in cruciform, serving as crucifixes. The images and descriptions of deities in cruciform include Osiris, Isis and Horus, and the answer to the question of whether or not Horus was ever associated with the cross and depicted on a cross or in cruciform must be a resounding yes.”

Finally, the following is an excerpt from my article on the connection between Joseph and Seb:

“As demonstrated here and in my other works, the correlations between the Egyptian god Horus and Jewish godman Jesus are profound and important. These parallels include these figures’ ‘fathers,’ Seb and Joseph, whose names are similar and whose earthly roles and tektonic occupations likewise reveal significant correspondences that indicate the Egyptian myths may have been a principal source for various aspects of the gospel story of Christ.”
