In addition to the linguistic impossibilities, this suggestion shows a
distinct unawareness of how ancient Near Eastern religions worked. It assumes
a modern-day model of the 'religion marketplace', as opposed to the
henotheistic model that seems to have pervaded the Fertile Crescent for many
centuries. It holds about as much water as the suggestion that Pharaoh was
French.

Given that this suggestion stretches credulity to the extreme, it will close
on Sunday. No more posts on this from Monday onwards.
