The fact that their images are pictured together in my opening post is proof of that. If you don't believe me, do an Internet search for "Egyptian trinity" and see how many times those three will pop up rather than the other "literally HUNDREDS of gods" of ancient Egypt. Here is a weblink you can start with.Quote:In the 2nd century B.C.E. (two centuries before Christ came to the earth), Egypt had a triad of gods consisting of (1) Horus, (2) Osiris, and (3) Isis.
These were NOT triune gods in the christian sense of three-but-one. Egypt had literally HUNDREDS of gods. There is no meaningful comparison.
