A quick look at the etymological source of the word Amen undeniably shows that it originates from Egyptian sun-worship, which was taken by the ancient Greeks, eventually taken by the Medieval English.
You're almost 2000 years off. The ancient Greek empire of Alexander was achieved in the 3rd century BC. Whereas the Amun-Ra dates back to the 21 century BC.
Actually I won't because you referenced a separate entry Ammon and tried to conflate it with Amen. lol
a>men (interj.)
Old English, from Late Latin amen, from Ecclesiastical Greek amen, from Hebrew amen "truth," used adverbially as an expression of agreement (as in Deuteronomy xxvii.26, I Kings i.36), from Semitic root a-m-n "to be trustworthy, confirm, support."
Compare similar use of Modern English certainly, absolutely. Used in Old English only at the end of Gospels, otherwise translated as Soðlic! or Swa hit ys, or Sy! As an expression of concurrence after prayers, it is recorded from early 13c.
Ammon
name of the Greek and Roman conception of the Egyptian sovereign sun-god Amun (said to mean literally "hidden"), also Amen-Ra. This they confused with the ram-headed divinity, god of life, worshipped at an oracular sanctuary in Libya. See ammonia. Related: Ammonian.

Is "Thanks man", the new "Amen?".
I've never like "Amen" anyways! I mean, what does it really mean?

Over and out? Rodger Wilco?
Thanks is all he ever wanted. No churches, no temples. Just enjoy the world he made for you and say thanks once in a while.
Stick to the rules, and everything is cool.

"It is so, so be it"
"Thanks, man" is what you say to the nigger who refills your soda.
