None that I know of.

The Egyptians said basically the same thing in the Shebaka Stone (eg: that anyone with the ability to create can simply speak words and the hands will build on command).

The Egyptians believed that this ability to abstract and create was passed from God (Ptah) to us, and this is a nearly exact rendering of the meaning of Genesis 1 and John 1. Hence archaeologists call the Shebaka Stone "the Egyptian Logos".
