Egyptian Jesus in the House of Pharaohs

Ahmed Osman (thriftbooks.com); Editors, Wisdom Quarterly

In white Russian iconography (Eastern Orthodox) Christians worship a Black man from Israel, like Coptics in Egypt. But Europeans turned a North African into an Aryan fantasy. See the work of Christian scholar Prof. Reza Aslan for the distinction of the fantasy from Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs

The House of the Messiah (Ahmed Osman)

There is a provocative thesis that the historical Jesus was connected to the royal 18th dynasty of Egypt. It contends that Jesus, Joshua, and Tutankhamun were the same person.

The book provides evidence from church documentation, the Koran (Islamic holy text), the Talmud (Jewish holy text), and archeology that the Messiah ("savior to come") came more than a millennium before the first century C.E.

The book shows that Christianity evolved from Essene teachings. Although it is commonly believed that Jesus lived during the first century C.E., there is no concrete evidence to support this as fact from Roman or Jewish historians who would have been his contemporaries.

Pharaoh Tutankhamun or "King Tut," Egypt's boy-kind had a nearly intact tomb.

Writers of the gospels themselves were of a later generation, and many accounts recorded in the Old Testament and Talmudic (Jewish) commentary refer to the coming of the Messiah as an event that had already occurred.

Essene Revelations on the Historical Jesus

Using the evidence available from the archeological record, The Dead Sea Scrolls, the Koran, the Talmud, and biblical sources, researcher and author Ahmed Osman provides a compelling case that both Jesus and Joshua were one and the same person.

This belief was echoed by the earliest Church Fathers -- and, in fact, this person was the Pharaoh Tutankhamun [the Amen in an Amenhotep?], who ruled Egypt between 1361 and 1352 B.C.E. and was regarded as the spiritual "Son of God."

Osman contends that Essene Christians -- who followed Jesus' teachings in secret after his murder -- only came into the open following the execution of their prophet John the Baptist by King Herod, many centuries later.

Prince of Peace or pro-gun guy?

Yet, it was the Essenes who, following the death of King Tut/Pharaoh Tutankhamun and his father Akhenaten (Moses or Amenhotep IV), secretly kept the monotheistic religion of Egypt alive.

The Essenes believed themselves to be the people of the New Covenant established between their lord and themselves by the "Teacher of Righteousness," who was murdered by a wicked priest.

The Dead Sea Scrolls support Osman's contention that this "Teacher of Righteousness" was in fact Jesus. More

Interesting theory on Jesus

(By Thriftbooks.com User, June 7, 2010) Basically this is the theory that Jesus was Pharaoh Tutankhamun [King Tut], Moses was Pharaoh Akhenaten, Solomon was Pharaoh Amenhotep III, and King David was Pharaoh Tuthmosis III. It seems to be very well researched. But if you are not a scholar, it may read a little dry -- like it does for me. If you are not very familiar with the source texts Osman uses, such the Bible's Old Testament, New Testament, the Talmud, the Koran, and The Dead Sea Scrolls, and Egyptian history, etc. then you might have a little trouble getting it. It's written in a style that assumes the reader is already familiar with all of that. I still enjoyed it though and think I will hold on to it for a second read in the future.
