In May 2002, a group of historians working at the British Science Museum unexpectedly discovered a previously unexplored document in which a prayer was written in Egyptian. Which almost word for word repeats the Orthodox prayer "Our Father". However, the main sensation awaited scientists later. When it became known that the scroll dated to 1000 BC. But how is this possible. After all, Christianity did not yet exist in the view of the official science. And Jesus Christ has not yet been born, who, according to the biblical legend, who gave his prayers the prayer "Our Father". In the course of further research, it turned out that the prayer of the blind, written according to the legend by Pharaoh Akhenaten, fell into the hands of historians. But why so many coincidences? Was the Bible based on ancient Egyptian texts? And if it was,then who was the founder of the religion of one god, and the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten rejected by history?
This so-called "Prayer of Akhenaten" is also known as the "Prayer of the Blind". The ancient text dates back to 1000 BC. The ancient Egyptian text almost completely repeats the Christian prayer "Our Father":
Our Father, unknown but existing, Hallowed be thy name to us, May Thy Law come, giving light, To the world of stars, and to our being, On this day, you feed us bread
And forgive us mortal debts

As we forgive before Heaven, Protect from temptation and evil.
The correspondence is so striking that there is no doubt that they are one and the same text. But if the ancient Egyptian "Prayer of the Blind" and the Christian prayer "Our Father" are so similar, then what should be considered the primary source? And who actually gave the main prayer of God? Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, or Jesus Christ?
Further research has revealed even more amazing facts to historians. In ancient Egyptian writings, they found many parallels with biblical texts. As an example, historians cite a passage that explains the concept of "divine conjugal union", which comes from ancient Egypt. In the Egyptian text, dated about 550 BC, there is the so-called "Satni Myth", which tells, in fact, the biblical legend of the birth of the Savior -
"The Shadow of God appeared before Mahituskeet, and announced: you will have a son and he will be named Sa-Osiris!"
A similar story is described in the Gospel of Luke. The Archangel Gabriel appears to the Virgin Mary, and says that she is destined to become the mother of the Savior of the World. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. And now you will give birth to a son, and you will call His name - Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High"
Further, from the manuscripts of Ancient Egypt, more and more common features with the Bible appear. So in Egyptian mythology, the deity Set wants to kill the baby Horus. His mother is forced to flee. The same story is found in the "Holy Scripture" in the Gospel of Matthew, describing the flight of the family of Jesus Christ to Egypt in order to avoid the execution of the baby by King Herod. But that is not all. Historians have found many similar features in ancient images. In ancient papyri, Egyptian bas-reliefs and drawings, you can find the image of the rite of baptism of the pharaoh in the waters of the Nile. Similar stories are found among Christians. Are Egyptian manuscripts the primary source of biblical texts?
In the texts of the pyramids, the oldest work of the religious and funeral literature of Egypt, researchers also find stories that have similarities with the Bible. More recently, scholars have been able to translate the myth of the god Sebek, a deity with the head of a crocodile, mentioned in the texts as the son of the goddess Neith. In the ancient world, he acts as one of the creatures that emerged from the watery chaos and gave rise to the World. In ancient stories, he is depicted as a deity who handed out bread and fish living in the Fayum oasis, and also walked on water. Researchers find a similar confirmation in the Bible - Jesus Christ manifests a miracle to the world by walking on water. There is a similar mention in the three Gospels.
So who created the body of Scripture that we know today as the Old Testament? In search of an answer, historians began to study historical chronicles, and in an unexpected way, the investigation led them to a prisoner of the Shlisselburg fortress, to events dated 1923. At this time, the populist revolutionary Nikolai Morozov is writing a book in the fortress. A scandal is developing in the world of historians and theologians. In the book "Christ" the history of mankind in natural scientific light, the author puts forward a seditious hypothesis for those times. Egypt and Israel were a single state, and had a single dynasty of rulers. The only Pharaoh who did not worship the numerous Egyptian gods was Akhenaten. And after him they began to pray to the only god. Based on his research, Morozov put forward a sensational version, according to which Jesus,and Akhenaten is one historical figure.
For a long time, not a single proof of Nikolai Morozov's version was found, until one day researchers in one of the archives found an article for 2002 published in the Spanish newspaper Lavangardia. It spoke of a strange incident that took place in Barcelona. A priest from one of the church, named Logari Pujol, refused to accept the parish and conduct the service. The clergy did not comment on the situation in any way, but journalists intervened in the matter. And they found out that Pujol even intends to free himself from church dignity.
The fact is that while studying the religion of Ancient Egypt, the priest discovered facts that turned his consciousness upside down. These Unique discoveries enabled researchers to put forward a revolutionary theory according to which Pharaoh Akhenaten, the founder of the religion of One God, and Jesus Christ are one historical person. But is it possible? To confirm or disprove this hypothesis, the researchers needed to figure out who the Egyptian king really was.
Today, in the center of Berlin, on the first floor of the Pergamon Museum, 202 tablets are kept on both sides, covered with ancient text. Historians say that these tablets were once a single whole. And what is contained there allows you to shed light on the secrets of antiquity.
The history of their discovery is unique. She sends researchers back to 1887. The chronicle testifies that one of the women from the small village of Tel el-Amarna, located on the middle Nile, accidentally found several clay tablets with incomprehensible signs. For them it was possible to bail out a few coppers. But to make the revenue more, the woman broke the plates into several parts. And sold them one by one. The reseller merchant immediately realized that some ancient text had fallen into his hands and offered these tablets to several museums in Europe. Experts in Berlin quickly assessed the find.
It turns out that this was the archive of the pharaohs of the 18th dynasty of the Great Amenhotep IIII, him and his son, the successor of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who is called the most mysterious ruler of Egypt. Memories of contemporaries have survived, who described Pharaoh Akhenaten as a kind of creature that was not like earthly people. From the figures and images that are kept in museums, you can see that the pharaoh had an unusual appearance. Ovate elongated skull, effeminate figure, unusual shape of feet and toes. None of the pharaohs was depicted in such an ugly form. On the contrary, all the artifacts of the past, found by historians, show the pharaohs forever young, with a strong body, and beautiful features. Akhenaten is portrayed as ugly. But why some of the modern researchers put forward their own version on this score.
