Do they have a "convinced" Emoticon?

It was explaning how the Bible was based on astrology of the Egyptian people.
It claimed how theres 12 signs in the Zodiac and theres 12 disciples that followed Jesus. The Egyptians used to pray to the sun and call it "the SUN of god" and apparently thats how Jesus become "the SON of god". The suns rays became the thing they put on his head with the spikes. The Egyptians used to see the reflection of the sun in the sea and say that the sun of god was walking on the sea, and apparently thats where the idea of Jesus walking on water came from. The nile used to flood every year bringing new life to all the crops and the Egyptians used to call it the "Archa Noa" it means water and moon or something in Egyptian and thats where Noahs Arc came from.
I have to say it was one of the most interesting documentaries I have ever seen.
I've also seen a similar documentary on Islam, which used to describe the way of life in those days and how/why they came out with the things that they did. I saw it a long time ago but it said how pigs were only banned because in those days they noticed that pigs would rot quicker then all the other meat. Also apparently women used to get abducted and raped from the deserts and thats why they made women get all covered up. This isn't exactly how they explained it, they went a lot deeper and explained it well, but it was so long ago I can't remember what exactly they were saying.
Anyways. there may be a God but if you ask me religion is probably the biggest blasphemy against him.

additionally, i have read that the jesus, mary and joseph thing is based on isis and osirus.... there are alot of similarities there if you study religions/mythology....

You learn all about the line of succession, wars, trading etc. When doing the course they also have specially arranged evenings at the Petrie museum when you can have hands on involvment with the artifacts. It was truly amazing being able to hold scarabs and the like that were over 3,000 years old!

has any one else heared of this prophecys?
at one time cyprus was also called the island of saints.
