You probably worship Amen and don't know it.

I know of the old testament statement about Amun. I read the bible figuratively, not literally. Ancient Hebrew didn't have vowels, so we're guessing. Some historians believe Amen and Amun to be two different gods. Amen the all father, human image, and Amun a Fertility god, golden calf. Most ancient peoples ended their prayers/spells with the names of powerful spirits. Considering the similarities between Amenism and Hebrewism, it's most likely the name of Amen. Few religious people would accept their religion EVOLVED from pagan Egypt. What convinced me was the exact same rules. If you call the lesser gods angels, you have the same religion as the Hebrews.

It seems possible. I just don't see a super hard link between the two other than a it was a popular religion and then many centuries later a popular exclamation meaning "It is the truth".

If there were more evidence tying the two together across this historical period it'd be more convincing to people, imo

"a super hard link"

What type of evidence do you see as "super hard"?

Considering the significant difference to other religions and identical alphabet, description of god, and rules. What else do you need?

Maybe showing how it moved geographically over time, because the place of Amun is quite and distance from the place of Amen. And they were separated by like 1000 years.

It's like saying that because people say "rah rah rah!" at a football game, they're worshiping the sun god ra.

It's somewhat convincing but I'm still on the fence. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

And I may also agree that it's where that phonetically comes from, but to say it's actually an intended secret reference to Amun is a separate thing. The latter requires more proof than the former.
