i understand the implication is that the egyptians were, at the time of moses, off the beaten path but there's no indication, from what i can tell, that the beaten path was entirely accurate either. in other words, you can't take the stories of the deutorocannonical books (first five books of the old testament), and claim they are wholy egyptian as the sumerians beg to differ. in fact, the sumerians shared that same history with the egyptians and that's the big elephant in the room that egyptologists try to ignore in their efforts to purge ancient history from consideration.

Absolutely. There is a definite blurring of lines from civilization to civilization.
The Egyptians didn't have some big buildup to their feats. They just kind of exploded onto the scene. Which is strange, as the same can be said of many other areas, such as Gobleki Tepe. You don't see some build up to great feats. You have great feats performed, then a degradation, gradually, from there.
Did the Egyptians come from the Sumerians? Or did they both share the same ancestor?

etymologically, you can trace the hebrews backwards to the habiru
Source
late Old English, from Old French Ebreu, from Latin Hebraeus, from Greek Hebraios, from Aramaic 'ebhrai, corresponding to Hebrew 'ibhri "an Israelite," literally "one from the other side," in reference to the River Euphrates, or perhaps simply signifying "immigrant;" from 'ebher "region on the other or opposite side." The noun is c.1200, "the Hebrew language;" late 14c. of persons, originally "a biblical Jew, Israelite."

I think the intimation here is that they came up with their concepts via graft from the Egyptian system. Unless I am mistaken, anyway.
Which would make sense to me. You leave Egypt, and take with it the culture you developed. You are led by an Esoteric master, who has some level of disdain for your perfunctory understanding of the religious mythos. So this esoteric master, Moses, tried to take a different angle on the exact same secrets. The torah is the result of this new branch of esoteric study. And given how robust it became rather quickly, I would venture a guess that either Moses was truly enlightened, or he had a relatively strong team of well knowledged individuals.
Kabbalistic practices are among the most well known esoteric religious studies. Although, they are not well known for the right reasons. Kind of ironic if that is how it went. That Judaism was Moses attempt at separating the profanity from religion, at least to some degree. The whole "worship the word, not the symbol" concept brought up by the OP is an indication of this. But in the end, the esoteric studies related to Judaism become embraced by the very same profane worshipers that he was trying to stop.

allow me to clarify:
chapter 1 of genesis describes the creation of atum / adam males and females, who are copies of the elohim, plural.
this happens during the first 7 days of creation. the creation event culminates and elohim, singular, is happy as a peach
about how the whole thing went. no complaining about having to curse his creation because they ate from some tree, in fact, the elohim copied adam males and females are allowed to eat from any fruit tree. this begins chapter 2, where we see the creator resting on the 7th day. then, all of the sudden, he notices there's no adam to till the ground. what ? didn't he just create the adam in the first 7 days of creation? well yes and no. he created the atum/adam/elohim/alulim copies, but he hadn't created humans yet. this story is told in detail in the sumerian record.
the earth had undergone a cataclysm, which is mentioned briefly in the first few verses of genesis 1. the anunna / elohim evacuated. when they returned, the infrastructure of the earth was a shambles. the mines, farms, temples, centers of activity, were all destroyed. so the elohim created by the creator elohim, were set to work on it. they began to rebuild everything. meanwhile, the creator elohim began to re--terraform the earth with approved life forms, perhaps saved in the form of dna from the previous pre-ice age earth. everything was re-created. however, the created elohim grew unhappy about their workload and went to enlil's temple fortress to stage a protest. enlil sent for enki to solve the problem, since he was in charge of life form management and could make more copies of the elohim as replacement workers.
enki, however, was off planet at the time, and had to travel back here to solve the issue. he took some of the created elohim dna, modified it, and made the first human procreators -- elohim copies who could make copies of themselves, a hands free solution. and these are the ones you see in chapter 2 . problem was, the created elohim had unlimited lifespans, were extremely healthy, and only multiplied by copying or cloning of some kind. whereas the new human procreative versions could copy themselves and enlil didn't like this. this is why he went to the council before anu, and demanded that enki be forced to tweak human dna so that it didn't have unlimited life span.
that is essentially all three renditions of what happened -- the biblical, sumerian and egyptian.

I am just curious, have you ever asked a Jew why they put a dash between G and D before?
The answer is quite simple when you ask, and sometimes you do not have to be so far reaching in your theories to find out a truth, not everything is veiled inside a veil. Somethings are quite plain, and very simple.
I'll take an avatar upgrade for the sig line Egypt to Israel in symbols. Maybe an ark on one side and a djed on the other. Thanks man

so no response? you really should read the related verses again. i think many people of different views have not actually studied the actual verses but rather someone else's teaching on it, which historically, has been based on whatever the view of some powerful organization was and typically colored by the timeframe as well. during a time when women were viewed as responsible for the fall narrative, even in light of the fact the text shows an entirely different thing, the evidence for this insistence in believing anything other than what it actually says, is frustrating to behold.
