Interesting article, you should read the rest of it though, there are some quotes that i myself found rather enlightening. "there is no mention of Osiris in egyptian text until 2350 BC; so Harpurs reference of the origins of Osirian religion is off by more than a millenium and a half" "Harpurs book is chocked full of questionable claims" " rather appeal to primary scholarship, Tom Harper has based "The Pagan Christ" on the work of self appointed `scholars` who seek to excavate the literary and archaeological resources of the ancient world the same way an avis srossword puzzle enthusiast mines dictionaries and list words" These quotes are from the same article you dug up, good job.
