I'm an Atheist so I don't really give a shit where Christianity pulled their shit from. But it wasn't from Horus and the Egyptians. Here is what I posted in another thread on this topic:

Lets start with Horus since he is the primary figure they relate to Jesus.

-He was not born of a virgin. His mother was Isis and father was Osiris.

-He was not born on the 25th of December, but instead on November 15.

-He was born in a swamp, not a cave. It also has no mention of a star in the east. There was also no mentiond of 3 wise men at the birth (it also doesn't mention in the bible that wise men attended the birth).

-He had four disciples, not 12. And 16 human followers. There is not one Egyptian scholar that can find any reference to the number 12 with him.

-There are no stories of him walking on water.

-He never taught in a temple and never got baptized.

-He was never crucified and thus never rose from the dead.

-The supposed conflict between him and Set being about a fight for day and night is total bullshit. Set was the desert god and night and day is explained by the eyes of Horus. He had one eye gouged out which represents the moon and the other which represents the Sun. While he did have epic battles with Set, they primarily explain the coming together of Upper and Lower Egypt and have nothing to do with a battle over night/day.

That's just on Horus alone. I'm not even getting into the other gods, zodiac stuff, and made up symbolism that was debunked hundreds of years ago. The religion stuff is pure crap and bullshit. If he lied about that stuff, why not lie about the rest of the movie?

As for sources, it's in virtually every history book in the world.
