I'm sure that even though the Isrealites had great resent towards the Egyptians, many of their beliefs were changed by that over time....[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post matthewlovelady Posted at 10:00 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 So I've heard that the Bible has content derived from some of the Egyptians beliefs from a lot of different people. Does anyone have a website that talks about it? Or can anyone tell me more?

Granted, the civilization was around for a great deal and lived long enough to see kings and queens of old, but shouldn't we consider how the embodiment of a particular belief should take precedent rather than who was alive first to coin a particular phrase or ideal? nigeltheoutlaw Posted at 9:50 pm on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from Kitty Kiska at 12:32 pm on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from nigeltheoutlaw at 8:15 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 Quote: from Kitty Kiska at 7:15 am on Sep. 7, 2008 How is it not a hypothesis...hypothesis is an wducated guess based on observation...   i was observing documentary's and guessed to myself that MAYBE religion comes from egyptians since they belived in gods well before anyone else recorded!!!    Ugh, I'm not bothering with you anymore.

Baram Posted at 5:38 pm on Sep. 8, 2008 Well, the Egyptians were not the first ones to follow religion.  I know before them, the Mesopotamians worshipped their gods, which were their explanation for the unpredictable nature of their rivers.
