Ahmed Osman, "Out of Egypt", pages 304/305:
"From the last day of the 18th Dynasty, a slow evolutionary process took place within the Osiris theology, to explain the significance of the life, death, and resurrection of Tutankhamun, who became identified as the risen Osiris. Any visitor to the tomb of the young king, in the Valley of the Kings, can see for himself the strongest pictorial evidence connecting Tutankhamun and Jesus Christ.
The large painting of the Burial Chamber is subdivided into three separate scenes. The first scene on the right shows Aye (Ephraim/Joseph of Arimathea) [ I disagree with Osman here for all the evidence from the study of YmnHtp III as Solomon points to his being the prophet AHIJAH...see 1 Kings 11:30. Aye was a priest and may have been related to Joseph, Solomon's father-in-law. The robe he tore up may have been the royal robe he was wearing in the scene above.
Something extraordinary was going on for he was already wearing the Crown in this scene and this is something that never happened until the tomb of the last king was sealed. My theory is that the dead Prince Tuthmose was 'resurrected' to oppose Akhenaten, but that is another story.]
Osman continued: already wearing the blue crown with his cartouche above him, as a royal successor of the dead king. Aye, at the same time as being a king, uniquely is also officiating as a priest dressed in leopard skin, to perform the ritual of 'the opening of the mouth', for resuscitation of the dead Tutankhamun, shown facing him as the risen Osiris.
The second scene, in the middle of the wall, shows the risen Tutankhamun entering the heavenly realm of the gods and being welcomed there by the sky goddess, Nut. The third scene on the left depicts the king in three different forms. On the left of the scene stands Tutankhamun, in the form of the dead king Osiris, stretching his hands to touch a second Tutankhamun facing him, as the ruling king Horus, who is in turn stretching his arms to hold him, while he himself is being followed by a third Tutankhamun, representing the spiritual Ka, which also stretches its right arm to protect the king.
[ One very important object that we cannot see in this photo, since Hawass is obscuring it, is the small Ankh - the CROSS of Life, which Twt's Ka is holding in its left hand. Twt would carry the Cross on his 3 day journey through the Netherworld before being resurrected.]
Undoubtedly, this scene which was at the root of the heated theological arguments that lasted for the whole first four centuries of the early Christian Church regarding the nature of Christ and the meaning of his trinity. For here we see Osiris the father, Horus the son and Ka the Holy Spirit, all being represented as one person - Tutankhamun - as three different aspects of the same person.
Thus on the north wall of Tutankhamun's burial chamber we find the three important theological points related to death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the first scene represents his physical resurrection, the second scene represents his ascension and the third scene the trinity of his nature.
This must have been the reason why King Aye himself officiated as a priest over the arrangements of the king's burial, for no other priest would have been able to understand the new theology that stood behind the reformation introduced by Tutankhamun to the Amarna religious revolution.
So the emergence of Christianity in the 1st century AD, when the apostles declared their witnessing of the risen Christ, So was not an abrupt event, but came as a result of a long process of evolution, out of the ancient cults of Osiris and Hermes Trismegistus.
