Really, prove it.

All I have to do is quote this fact... and then quote this fact... and then point.

You've got to be kidding. If you were a cow you would be a gulli bull. Do you just believe tripe because it HAPPENS to agree with you? What type of a logician would do that?

I haven't heard the Horus story, but I would assume that there are "many parallels" because it's the same story told twice.
