@ibrahim1x .. who cares what the Quran says, if you are an intelligent human being you will already know that all religions are made up , there is absolutely no evidence you can provide to prove any religion is true.

You are correct dreicemoney, the Persians and the Egyptians both believed in a one great deity. All throughout the bible the Israelites are making journeys to Egypt. God sent Joseph, Mary, and Jesus to Egypt. When there was famine in Israel, where did they go? Egypt Moses was born in Egypt. He became a high priest. Later they say he went up to a mountain top and received the commandments. I believe he just copied the laws of Ma'at and the negative confessions from the Pyramids.
