Yes, one person in a meaningless blog, quoting someone else without veracity, who didn't actually say that, and has been busted previously.


from your link.
Since Massey, there is a dearth of anybody with any credentials that has adopted a straight Horus=Jesus theory. There is a one individual that has adopted some of Massey’s thoughts and incorporated them into a book-The Christ Conspiracy.
Just more of your ill thought out rubbish.

Thanks for reminding me, Gob, that's right, Massey position was not as the blogger has described it. So that make 0 for 4 in her attempt to answer your question.

Wot? They (Mary and Jesus) stole nothing since the 'mother and child' pose is universal.

Mary and Jesus stole nothing because the had been DEAD for 1400 years before the friggin portrait was painted.

The man who painted in, on the other hand, was clearly inspired by the image of Isis and Horus. That is the consensus of the experts in the field.

As I said before, perhaps there is some reason you claim to have more knowledge of the subject than they...

For some reason, a lot of scrutiny is placed on the way his mother Isis (as opposed to his mother Nut?) held him in family portraits. Some are claiming that, that pose was stolen by Mary and Jesus.
So one person on a blog misquoted Massey, this indicates "a lot of scrutiny"?

Seriously stupid.

The consensus of the experts in the field;
At the same time, most contemporary Egyptologists believe these parallels are not true and pseudo-scientific[6][7][8][9][10][11]. In particular they point out that, among the sourses make no mention of these facts in the life of Horus, and the celebration of Jesus' birth on December 25 was chosen for political reasons and was never claimed to be the actual date of his birth.[9]. However, W. Ward Gasque conducted a world-wide pole of twenty leading Egyptologists - including Professor Kenneth Kitchen of the University of Liverpool and Ron Leprohan, Professor of Egyptology at the University of Toronto- in Canada, USA, UK, Australia, Germany, and Austria to verify if there was any academic support for these claims. The scholars were unanimous in dismissing the claimed parallels. One scholar, who called it "fringe nonsense", also cautioned that "[e]gyptology has the unenviable distinction of being one of those disciplines that almost anyone can lay claim to, and the unfortunate distinction of being probably the one most beleaguered by false prophets."[12].



I'll leave you to follow the links yourselves, there are far too many...

Seriously stupid.

While Massey himself was only ONE amateur Egyptologist at the time of his claims; so compare that to the current compilation of Egyptologist research which debunks his assertions and;
