But you do pull facts from?

Or from sites that tell you that the Federal Reserve has never been audited while tons of government documents spanning decades show otherwise?

The Wiki was just for a brief overview of the real story. You can search the legend or myth of Isis and Osiris in Google and even pull up some of the sacred texts that were written on the walls.

And I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, I've just studied religious history for years and dislike when people in these movies distort the facts to get their point across. I truly believe that Christianity adopted parts of their beliefs from other religions, but I don't think Horus had much of an impact. I'd point to Dionysus (Greek) and the religion of Mithra that was practiced by the Romans as having more parralels to Christianity. There are some great books on where Christianity evolved from, and they are filled with factual evidence. This guy simply pulled information from a book written in 1999 that was more or less laughed at by historians. He mixed some truths in with some lies which made it believable.
