I don’t know guys if any of you have paid attention to similarities between Jesus Christ’s story and various myths prior to Christianity. Actually the story of Jesus Christ is not unique indeed. There are hundreds of myths that have similarity. Dionysus, Prometheus, and Krishna are among the most famous ones.

Dionysus (500BC) is God made flesh, Savior and the son of God, his father is God, his mother is a mortal virgin (sounds familiar? Wait, it’s not all yet). He was born in a cave, he rides into town on a donkey, he dies as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, descends into hell and rises from the dead and ascends to heaven.

Then we have Prometheus (1200 BC). He died on a tree for creatures’ sins.

Now Krishna (900 BC), a Hindu deity. He’s been portrayed as hanging on a cross with arrows on his hands and feet and he is known to Hindus as ‘Our Lord and Savior’.

You will be amazed to learn that all these myths are various kinds of personification of the Sun. The cross of the Zodiac as one of the oldest conceptual images in human history reflects the Sun and its passage through 12 months across the year. It also reflects 12 months of the year and 4 seasons, and equinoxes. The term Zodiac relates to the fact that constellations were anthropomorphised or personified as figures or animals. The Sun with its life-giving and saving qualities was personified as the representative of the unseen Creator or God. God’s Sun, the Light of the World, the Savior of Humankind. Likewise the 12 constellations represented the places for travel of God’s Sun, identified by names: for example, Aquarius who brings the spring rains.

Horus is the Sun God of Egypt around 3000 BC. His enemy was known as Set – the personification of the darkness or night. The dark versus light or the good versus evil as one of the most wide-spread mythological dualities ever known still exist.

Horus was born on 25 December of the virgin Isis. His birth was accompanied by a star in the east, 3 kings followed to adorn the new-born savior. At the age of 12 he was a teacher. At the age of 30 he was baptised by a figure known as Anap. Horus had 12 disciples, he travelled around performing miracles. His other names were the Truth, the Light, God’s Anointed Son, the God’s Shepherd, the Lamb of God and many others. After being betrayed by Typhan, Horus was crucified, buried for 3 days, and thus, resurrected.

Attis of Greece (1200BC) born of the virgin Nana on 25 December, crucified, placed in a tomb and after 3 days was resurrected.

Mithra of Persia (1200 BC) born of a virgin on 25 December. He had 12 disciples and performed miracles, and upon his death was buried for 3 days and thus, resurrected. He was also referred to as the Truth, the Light and many others. Interestingly, the sacred day of worship of Mithra was Sunday. Mithra in Modern Persian sounds as ‘Mehr’ and means the Sun and love.

Krishna of India (900 BC) born of a virgin with a star in the East. He performed miracles with disciples and upon his death was resurrected.

Dionysus of Greece (500 BC) born of a virgin on December 25, was a travelling teacher, performed miracles. He was referred to as the King of Kings, God’s Son, the Alpha and Omega and many others. And upon his death he was resurrected.

These are general characteristics of dozens of saviors around the world and Jesus was one of them. He is simply the personification of the Sun. His 12 disciples are 12 constellations of the Zodiac (12 months – interestingly, there are 12 izads (angels) in Zoroastrianism and 12 Imams in Islam’s Shia sect as well), his cross is the sign of equinox that could be seen in Krishna’s, Dionysus’ and Mithra’s images as well, and his name Christ (Christos) means ‘Anointed One’ as Horus of 3000BC.
