Iah is a very early god of the moon in ancient Egyptian religion, and his name sometimes transliterated as Yah, Jah or Aah, simply means "moon." Nevertheless, by the New Kingdom he was less prominent as a moon deity than the other gods with lunar connections, Thoth and Khonsu. As a result of the functional connection between them he could be identified with either of those deities. He was sometimes considered an adult form of Khonsu, and was increasingly absorbed by him.
The high point in Yah's popularity can be found following the the Middle Kingdom when many people immigrated from the Levant and the Hyksos ruled Egypt.
‘I am Iah who is among the gods and I will not die’
“It is Khonsu who slew the lords, who strangles them for the King and extracts for him what is in their bodies, for he is the envoy who is sent to punish,”either case generally bearing the lunar disk and crescent on his head.
CT 311, that Khonsu “lives on hearts,” and 994 that he “lives on heads.”
Similarly, in CT spell 311 the operator ‘becoming’ Khonsu affirms that he has “bread consisting of men” and “offerings consisting of children.”
It is Grasper of topknots who is in cauldron, who lassoes them for Unis. It is the Serpent with raised head, who guards them for him and restrains them for him. It is the One who is over the reddening (blood), who binds them for him. It is Khonsu who cuts the lords, he strangles them for Unis, and extracts for him what is in their bodies. It is the messenger whom he (Unis) sends to confront. It is Shezmu who cuts them up for Unis, who cooks for him the things which are in them on his evening hearth-stones. It is Unis who eats their magic, who swallows their akhs
So it happened that the statue of Khonsu was placed in an ark, which was carried on poles by twelve priests while two chanted prayers. When it was borne from the temple, Pharaoh offered up burning incense, and five boats set forth with the ark arid the priests, accompanied by soldiers, a chariot, and two horses.

Transubstantiation has been Catholic dogma for well over a thousand years.

Raggedyman: And so? What’s your point Are you saying people literally believe that, every Catholic ever
Do you Thanks, I am aware of catholic teaching.Most Catholics don’t believe it was my point
According to the "alphabet theory", the early Semitic proto-alphabet reflected in the Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions would have given rise to both the Ancient South Arabian script and the Proto-Canaanite alphabet by the time of the Late Bronze Age collapse (1200–1150 BCE)

Read Martin Luther’s view on Catholic doctrine..., he left the church and started Protestantism based on their teachings
Plenty of protestants don’t follow church teachings never mind catholics believing papal bulls.
