M*W: I welcome comments from everyone. Christians, however, before you give your prerecorded answer, please read the following:
Although it is commonly believed that Jesus lived during the first century AD, there is no concrete evidence to support this fact from Roman and Jewish historians who would have been his contemporaries. The Gospel writers themselves were of a later generation, and many accounts recorded in the Old Testament and Talmudic commentary refer to the coming of the Messiah as an event that had already occurred.
Evidence from archaeology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Koran, the Talmud, and biblical sources, make a compelling case that both Jesus and Joshua were one and the same, a belief echoed by the early Church Fathers, and that this person was also the pharaoh Tutankhamun who ruled Egypt between 1361 and 1352 BC. The Essene Christians only came into the open following the execution of their prophet John the Baptist by Herod many centuries later. Yet it was also the Essenes who, following the death of Tutankhamun and his father Akhenaten (Moses), secretly kept the monotheistic religion of Egypt alive.
(Excerpt taken from the cover of the book Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs: The Essene Revelations on the Historical Jesus, by Ahmed Osman).
With that said, King Tut was also called by Pliny the "eldest son of the Aten (the Sun) in heaven."
One of the charges against the historical Jesus was his claim to be "the Son of Ra," an Egyptian rather than Israelite deity. (The ancient Israelites were moon-worshippers). This title was discovered on the stele in the Karnak Temple of King Tut. According to Ahmed Osman in Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs, this finding sheds light on the views expressed by Talmudic rabbis who regarded Jesus, the son of Mary, as also being the son of a man named Pandira. Some scholars suggest that Pandira could have been a Roman soldier who had a love affair with Mary. Interestingly, Pandira is not an Hebrew word but a form of an Hebrew word which is an ancient Egyptian royal epithet. The word in Hebrew is Pa-ndi-ra. In Egyptian this becomes Pa-ntr-ra which means Pa-neter-ra, the god Ra. "Son of Ra" was an Egyptian title used by all pharaohs.
I'm still not convinced that Jesus existed as a christian, a Jew or an Egyptian pharaoh.
I welcome all comments, especially any information on Pandira.
