Huge difference, in fact.
Homan was a Bible scholar who died relatively young a few months
back. His MS and PhD from UCSD were in Ancient Near Eastern History,
Near Eastern Archaeology, and Hebrew Bible.
In his book "To Your Tents, O Israel", he demonstrated the
architectural parallels between the Biblical Tabernacle and the
ancient Egyptian military battle tent (used by Rameses II). Its size,
shape, proportions, and arrangement of inner and outer rooms are an
exact match. Even it's golden wing decorations are identical.
Incidentally, the Torah mentions the Tabernacle in hundreds of
verses, all in the sources that were written by Levites. The
non-Levite sources never mention it. Stay tuned for more info later
on the Levites and their Egyptian connections.
