Christians do not have any original, sacred, inspired-by-god documents.

This follows the tradition established by their holy predecessors who claim to have once had the official Ten Commandments, but lost them.
The practice was again repeated by Joseph Smith, Jr. when he held, and then translated the Golden Plates. Smith eventually obtained
testimonies from eleven men, known as the Book of Mormon witnesses, who said they had seen the plates. After the translation was complete, Smith said he returned the plates to their angelic guardian.
All we have are nth generation copies
of all these
sacred documents.
But
many original ancient Egyptian document still exist , and they are
older than all the non-original New Testament copies,
older than the non-original Ten Commandments, and
older than the non-original copies of the Golden Plates. The Egyptians called their hieroglyphs "words of god".
