Christianity Stolen From The Egyptian Sun God Horus

I have read and heard about this many time but always from atheist. I read people that were saying this wasn't true and they did make some sense in what they were saying. What do you guys think about this? Does anyone know of a source explaining the religion that just talks about the views of the religion not written by Christians or atheists? I am sure you guys have heard about all the similarities that have been claimed but in case you haven't here they are.
He was baptized by anup the baptist.
Like jesus Horus had no history between the ages of twelve and thirty.
Horus walked on water, cast out demons, and healed the sick.
Horus delivered sermon on the mount and his followers faithfully recounted the sayings of iuse (or jesus)
Horus was crucified between two thieves, buried in a tomb, and resurrected.
Horus was the good Shepard, the lamb of god, the bred of life, the son of man.
There was ten rules that were worded a little different but meant the same thing as the ten commandments.
If this isn't enough there are said to be like over 40 things in this religion that resemble Christianity. However i did read an article written by christian that made a case that this isnt true and it wasnt total bullshit. So what are your views on this have you guys studied this at all? Is there a source that just explains the Egyptian religion views without being biased?
