However, some believe that this legend only reflects that Greek thought by the time of the Roman period, had so thoroughly and fully become incorporated with ancient Egyptian thought, that the "new" religion was nothing but a development of Greek theologians and philosophers using ancient Egyptian and Greek patterns of thought under the direction of Roman authorities. Of course, this is exactly why you had so many ecumenical councils at the time and also why so many heresies were around at the time. This is also why the oldest books of the new testament were found in Egypt.

Not to mention all the apologetic literature being written by the early African church fathers like Augustine and others.
