First Sentence:
IN presenting my readers with some of the data which show that much of the Christian History was pre-extant as Egyptian Mythology, I have to ask you to bear in mind that the facts, like other foundations, have been buried out of sight for thousands of years in a hieroglyphical language, that was never really read by Greek or Roman, and could not be read until the lost clue was discovered by Champollion, almost the other day! Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work on mythology, March 18, 1999
By Casca (Darwin) - See all my reviews
This book is a distillation of Massey's ideas.It is a good introduction, as his main works such as "Ancient Egypt, the Light of the World", are massive tomes.Massey was a pioneer in giving a coherent interpretation of ancient mythology.He shows how the teachings of Christianity originated in ancient Egypt.Horus, the Egyptian saviour,was the prototype for Christ.He shows how the story of Christ is a retelling of the story of Horus.The parallels are so obvious once they have been explained.Massey relates how many of the alleged sayings of Christ first appeared in other places such as the Talmud, and ancient Egypt.The works of Massey go a long way in explaining the true origins of Christianity.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Stretch in Parts, but interesting, April 10, 2003
By Andre M. "brnn64" (Mt. Pleasant, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is a good collection of essays by the early Egyptologist Gerald Massey. Much of it deals with the more negative aspects of Christianity, particularly its effects on the poor, and it's ties with Egyptology. Personaly, I've always felt that the Horus/Jesus connection was somewhat of a stretch, but this is balanced out by some commentary that's worth reading, even if you don't agree with it.
