Were the Ten Commandments copied from the Egyptian's Holy Scripture The Book of the Dead?

The Book of the Dead was buried with the corpse to act a sort of instruction manual to the afterlife which also contained magical spells and protection charms. It is often speculated that the ten commandments are taken from chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead. In that case, the ten commandments of Christianity have been radically changed from those of their Egyptian ancestors; upon death the Egyptian would come before 42 judges to answer 42 questions, those being the commandments of their life. Judeo-Christian versions are much shorter and replace all god's with one supreme being.
