The question of “origins” is rather pointless,
especially if based on spurious speculations which Guenon calls the “superstition
of facts”. As to the alleged relationship between the religions of the
Egyptians and the Christians, Guenon offers these considerations in “Spiritual
Authority and Temporal Power”.
Regarding the Sphinx, Guenon claims it represented the attributes
of wisdom and strength, corresponding respectively to the qualities of the Brahmins
and Kshatriyas, or, spiritual authority and temporal power.
He also points out that the Sphinx represents the principle
uniting the sensible and the suprasensible worlds. It is for this reason that
the Egyptian Christians also adopted the Sphinx as a symbol of Christ, as it
represents the union of the divine and human natures. There is no question,
then, of “influence” in the common and secular meaning of the word,
but rather reflects a common understanding of Traditional doctrine.
The question of origins is doubly pointless in the case of
Christianity, since, according to Evola, there was a “rectification”,
or rather a series of rectifications, involved which fundamentally transformed
Christianity, so much so, that Evola points to the so-called Middle Ages as one
of the “great, Aryan civilizations”. (“Sintesi di dottrina della
razza”, p 29)
In particular, Evola claims that the Middle Ages were a
Roman-Germanic creation (hardly a creation of the Egyptians, and even less so
of the Jews). This is so obvious that even a non-Traditionalist can notice it: “Medieval
Christianity was more a Germanic/European folk religion based on traditional Indo-European
beliefs than the de-Europeanizing ecumenicalism that today passes for
Christianity.” ( http://www.theoccidentalquarterly.com/archives/vol8no2/TOQv8n2OMeara.pdf
)
As a matter of historical record, the Protestant so-called reformers
objected to these “rectifications” and sought to bring back the message
of the earliest Christians, which was “unadulterated communism”.
This revolt of the lower castes by the Northern Europeans began the creation
the modern world. This is also an observation of Evola himself.

The thesis is not just a novelty and I agree partially
with it. Osman already theorized this in the book 'Moses: Pharaoh of
Egypt' (1990) based also on the famous work of Freud, 'Der Mann
Moses und die monoteistische Religion...'(1934-38). Unfortunately, even if
rather interesting, Osman is lacking of metaphisical outlook,
and when he wrote that Moses and Akhenaton were the same person, this
move could be a literary strategy.
I too wrote about here and there (but in Italian) see for
instance: http://www.fuocosacro.com/pagine/lexaurea/lexaurea36.pdf
'La fuga in Egitto e le origini del cristianesimo'.

I have not read it but the book "Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion" should be of interest regarding this topic.
´
• Shows that the Romans fabricated their own version of Christianity and burned the Alexandrian library as a way of maintaining political power
In Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion author Ahmed Osman contends that the roots of Christian belief spring not from Judaea but from Egypt. He compares the chronology of the Old Testament and its factual content with ancient Egyptian records to show that the major characters of the Hebrew scriptures--including Solomon, David, Moses, and Joshua--are based on Egyptian historical figures. He further suggests that not only were these personalities and the stories associated with them cultivated on the banks of the Nile, but the major tenets of Christian belief--the One God, the Trinity, the hierarchy of heaven, life after death, and the virgin birth--are all Egyptian in origin. He likewise provides a convincing argument that Jesus himself came out of Egypt.
With the help of modern archaeological findings, Osman shows that Christianity survived as an Egyptian mystery cult until the fourth century A.D., when the Romans embarked on a mission of suppression and persecution. In A.D. 391 the Roman-appointed Bishop Theophilus led a mob into the Serapeum quarter of Alexandria and burned the Alexandrian library, destroying all records of the true Egyptian roots of Christianity. The Romans' version of Christianity, manufactured to maintain political power, claimed that Christianity originated in Judaea. In Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion Osman restores Egypt to its rightful place in the history of Christianity.´
