The whole idea of a link between Christianity, Judaism and ancient Egyptian cosmology is not new or unique to this African writer. Likewise the fact that the Hebrew written language possibly originated in Egypt shows that there is evidence of a linguistic relationship.

First alphabet found in Egypt.

Perusing the number of books written on the topic, by many different authors of various backgrounds, shows that this is an intriguing topic for many people. Some of these books are pure fantasy, some are worthwhile and some are a little of both. So it isn't as if this guy is the first to write something about these two cultures that some may find far fetched.

While I don't agree with everything in the article or the way it was presented, that doesn't mean that such linkages between ancient Egyptian language, culture and Judaism are far fetched, considering that these people say in their own historical religious books that they came from Egypt as the seminal moment that began their religious identification with Yahweh, by a former high priest of Egypt, Moses.

I have thought about the idea of the relationship between the modern word Amen as an ending to a prayer or sermon and the ancient diety of Amun, but I have never found any concrete evidence tying the two together. For me, the idea just remains an intriguing coincidence.
