Egyptian religion

  • Zoroastrianism is historically related to Egyptian religion.

    Plutarch’s On Isis and Osiris sets Persian dualist cult beside Egyptian Osiris–Typhon opposition as comparative theology — a named Zoroastrianism–Egypt relation under this source, not mithraism as the already-filed Roman-neighbor seat and not Manichaeism as a later church.

    from Plutarch · On Isis and Osiris, c. 100 CE
