Really.

Ever heard of:

"The Book of Coming Forth By Day", aka "The Book of The Dead" ( Egyptian )

"The Epic of Gilgamesh" (Sumerian)

The Pali Texts? (Buddhist)

"The Popul Vuh"? (Mayan)

The Vedas and the Upanishad. (Indian)

We seem to be arguing from different perspectives. I guess we'll need to agree to differ. I have nothing further to say on this matter.

It depends on how you define "sacred." Most scholars do not believe those texts were considered "sacred" as they were not "of God." They were important and played a religous role, but were not seen as "sacred" as were the Biblical texts which had to be copied verbatim. It is actually splitting hairs with the definition. I prefer the phrase "religious texts."
"On Earth as it is in Heaven, the Cosmic Roots of the Bible" available on the Amazon.
