Out Of Egypt I have Called My Son: The Jesus-Horus Debate

Carved into the massive walls of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, standing sentinel on the Nile’s west bank since 57 BC, lies a library of stone that may hold the key to one of history’s most explosive questions: Did the story of Jesus originate not in the hills of Judea, but in the temples of ancient Egypt? If the holy family truly fled to Egypt as the Gospel of Matthew claims, they might have gazed upon this very monument - but what they couldn’t have known was that the texts inscribed within its walls told tales of virgin births, divine sons, resurrections, and saviors that predated Christianity by millennia.

The Edfu Texts speak of a god named Horus, born of a virgin, walking on water, healing the sick, and rising from the dead - a story so strikingly similar to the Christ narrative that scholars have spent centuries debating whether the greatest story ever told was actually the greatest story ever retold. As educated Romans, Greeks, and Jews of the first century would have been intimately familiar with these Egyptian mysteries, the question becomes not whether the biblical writers knew of Horus, but rather why they chose to remain silent about the uncanny parallels - and what that silence might reveal about the true origins of Western religion itself.
