"The very thing which is now called the Christian religion existed among the ancients also, nor was it wanting from the inception of the human race until the coming of Christ in the flesh, at which point the true religion which was already in existence began to be called Christian."
St. Augustine, Retractiones
St. Augustine also wrote that Socrates (5 centuries before Roman Christianity) was as grand a Christian as any churchly saint or martyr and that Socrates' Pagan brand of Christianity was as lofty and pure as the kind he himself knew.
How many Christians know that the original Cross was not the Roman Cross of Death, but the Egyptian Ankh?
"The first Christians were primarily Jews from Alexandria. So a large number of people embraced the Christian faith and Christianity began to spread throughout Egypt. Ideas from the Greek religious movement then merged with this faith to form the philosophy of Christian Gnosticism.
It was the symbol of the ankh that they originally adopted for use as the Christian cross – the Egyptian symbol for the Key to Eternal Life." (http://hiddenlighthouse.wordpress.com/category/early-christianity/)

Soon after the crucifixion of Christ, a Greek religious movement began in the areas around Egypt, Greece and Israel.
In 42 AD, the Coptic Templar Order was established as an esoteric organization by Thomas the Apostle and Saint Mark, in the city of Cairo, in ancient Egypt.
Thirty years later, they established a temple in Alexandria, which is also located in ancient Egypt. This temple later developed into the Coptic Orthodox Church and Catechetical School.
The first Christians were primarily Jews from Alexandria, as well as the Essenes and the Druids. At that time, a large number of people embraced the Christian faith and Christianity began to spread throughout Egypt.
Ideas from the Greek religious movement then merged with this faith to form the philosophy of Christian Gnosticism. It was the symbol of the ankh that they originally adopted for use as the Christian cross – the Egyptian symbol for the Key to Eternal Life.
One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of Eternity, of Life, of the marvellous structure of reality. Albert Einstein
In the loop of the Cross above, we can easily read the Egyptian hieroglyphs - Sun Disk, Scarab, Bowl = Ra Heprew Neb - God of All Heprew.
Above the Cross more hieroglyphs spell out TWT MS - the name of the eldest son of Pharaoh Ymn Htp III aka King Solomon.
Below the Cross, reading from right to left, it reads Y MN TWT ANKH HEK IUNU SHMA - the praenomen of King Twt.
