What are the odds that Jesus , Joe and Mary spend sometime sightseeing at the pyrimid during the first 12?

Answer 1

Well, according to scripture, it doesn't give an exact date when they returned out of Egypt after King Herod died. After he died, they moved back to Galilee and lived in Nazerath. The only age it lists next about Christ is when he was at the temple at age 12.

Yet, when Herod sought for the child, and the wise men found him as a "child" and not a "babe" like the shepherds did the night Christ was born and that they found him in a "house" and not a stable, he ordered the death of every child 2 yrs and younger. So its logical to think that when the wise men did find Christ, he was between those ages. So if Jesus did see anything to do with the pyrimids, it would have been as a very young lad.

The bible doesn't really say where they went in Egypt, and its highly possible that they never went there. The pyrimids were always revered back then as holy sights and my not have let outsiders or jews anywhere near them.

Answer 2

Very possible! The Egyptians at that point, were far more advanced than other cultures, especially on questions of astronomy (which the pyramids were connected to). It's very likely that Jesus got much of his education there.

Remember that Philo of Alexandria was a friend of St. Paul.
