Confirmation of Volney's Quotes edit

I'm having some difficulty tracking down the text quoted by Volney in this article. Searching for Travels Through Syria and Egypt in the Years 1783, 1784, and 1785, the source, led me | here, but I'm not finding the text in question. Can someone take a look when they have a chance?

After further search for a reliable source proving unsuccessful, I've deleted the quoted text for the time being (also, even if a source is found, the text itself appears to have been purposefully selected for its appeal to Afrocentrist sentiments, and doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of the article).

Volney's version of the Christ myth Theory edit

From what I have read Volney's version of the Christ myth Theory said that the Jesus figure in the Gospel was an obscure historical whose life was integrated into a solar mythology (Wells, G. A. "Stages of New Testament Criticism," Journal of the History of Ideas, volume 30, issue 2, 1969. ; Roberts, Geoff (2011) Jesus 888 Troubador Publishing pg 144) This means he didn't go all the way with his version of the Christ Myth theory.--2606:A000:7D44:100:98A0:7630:C25E:7A30 (talk) 09:57, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
