Ton of stuff. Horus wasn't born on the 25th of December. His mother wasn't a virgin (the story of how he was conceived is pretty awesome though, read the Legend of Osiris and Isis). He was never a teacher, he was never baptized, and never walked on water.
He also never dies in Egyptian lore. He simply merges with another God Ra. Therefore there is no crucifiction or resurrection.
Set wasn't the God of the night, he was the Desert God (because he was infertile). Horus was the God of the Sky. One of his eyes was the sun, the other the moon. There were no nightly battles between the two that determined night and day.
There is a slew of other made up stuff too. You can find it in a slew of real books about the history of the Egyptians. Many of these stories are also in the Book of the Dead (such as how Horus came to be).

There are a lot of people who shaped Christianity that were heavily taught in Greek philosophy. Saint Augustine is probably the most notable. Many early Christian philosophies were also stolen almost word for word from the Greeks (Plato for instance). Their geographical proximity is also pretty suspect.
Not saying it's true, just saying I think the Greek culture has much more evidence showing influence than the Egyptians.
