One thing that occurred to me is if the authors had come to the idea in advance (which I'm not claiming they did!!) they very likely would have simply written a book on philosophy rather than claiming it was the channeling from an ethereal entity named Ra.
Why? Because publishing a westernized philosophical text would likely appeal to a larger audience and therefore result in a bigger return. However that's not what we see.
So you're right that does lend a degree of credibility.
