Ahmed Osman - Egypt & Christianity
October 11, 2011
Ahmed Osman was born in Cairo Egypt in 1934. He studied law at Cairo University and worked as a journalist in the early 1960s. In an attempt to find the historical roots behind the continuous political conflict between Egypt and Israel, he left his country for London at the end of 1964. Since then he has been researching the connection between the stories of the Bible and the historical evidence uncovered by archaeologists during the last hundred years. In this interview, Ahmed discusses the Egyptian roots and themes used in Christianity as well as the Jewish perspective. He’ll explain why he thinks Moses is Akhenaten and how Father means Pharaoh. We’ll also talk about the biblical Joseph’s Egyptian roots. Ahmed tells us about the political conflicts when discussing Israeli and Muslim blood connections. Then, we talk about the religious beliefs that Akhenaton brought forth. Ahmed says the God conflict began when one God for all was claimed since in ancient times each city and tribe had their own different God and beliefs. Later, we discuss Jesus’ uniqueness and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
