In the grand scheme of things there is absolutely no way to prove or disprove the Egyptians or any other belief system for that matter is "religiously ill-informed" that is only conjecture and opinion on your part. People like Greg or e with weak faith demand miracles even hearsay ones written by third parties who did not attend at the originating event. Miracles could be popping out all over the place and he would turn his nose up in favor of fables about a dead guy from several thousand years ago. Even so, his account is no more valid than your account.

"Ancient people were not stupid." 1. They certainly were intelligent enough to know if Jesus had a twin when His family was known to all. 2. One thing the Romans were really good at was killing people. When the guards went to break Jesus legs to speed His death they found that He was already dead. However just to be sure they stuck a spear in His side and out came what is described as water and blood. The medical explanation for this is that; "the piercing of His side confirmed that Jesus was indeed dead. But, equally important is the fact that from the wound came both blood and water. John 19:34 35 gives us an eyewitness account of the effect of the piercing. We read that blood and water poured from the wound, but had Jesus been alive at the time of the piercing, strong spurts of blood would have come forth with every heartbeat. Instead, we are told that a semi-dark red clot was seeping out and was separate from a flow of watery serum. These signs are evidence of massive clotting of the blood in the main arteries and, therefore, proof of death." leaderu.com In conclusion I would have to say neither of your possibilities are in fact likely. The empty tomb, the eyewitness accounts, the fact that no one produced the body of Jesus, all testify to the veracity of the resurrection accounts.
