Hi Mr. Johnson; I think the statement of that position might be unhelpful though -- not that I don't believe that Scripture contains the historical truth that all the myths are grasping after -- but the predating poses something of a problem because for instance, the quote from the book of the dead above would seem to predate the same expressions in Scripture by many years.

After two days, he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.
