Elaborate myths of the King Osiris had already developed by
4400 years ago in the Pyramid Texts of
Egypt. Myth does not follow logic. It is
only in mythology where people become other people where death does not end
life and where animals can speak.
Myth itself evolves because it is based on
concepts about life not about facts but often the core stories of myth revolve
around allegories which never change. For example the God Osiris is murdered by
Set the evil one which has its basis in the daily rotation of the Earth when
darkness overcomes light. This very
simple relationship is an example of what underlies all of the ancient tales;
most of them having been drawn from astronomical realities.
Osiris (although dead!) had a son Horus through the virgin
birth of his mother Isis Meri. As is possible in myth; Horus existed as
different people at different times. Later stories made Horus the same as his
father Osiris and perhaps that is why Horus resurrected is other self “his
friend” Osiris (Osaris Azarus Lazarus). Horus walked on the water; like his
father a sun god, he was seen daily walking on water at sunrise with the
double image of two suns, two solar deities, one above the other, the exact image of the other.
. .
@Deegee, Horus was with his mother and step father Sep,
until twelve years old when he became
the son of his heavenly father with no biographic details in the meantime, from
twelve to thirty there is no record of Horus. At thirty years old he was
baptised by Anup (=John) and
symbolically blessed by his heavenly
father in the form of a bird.
In answer to the OP. We do have ample evidence of the
existence of Jesus outside of the Bible; he is a focal character-- under
different names, of supernatural tales which descended from ancient mythology. It was a cheap manoeuvre to swap names but why spoil a good story from another culture!
The Romans never knew
of a man who could resurrect the dead; if Jesus really existed they would most surely have recorded the appearance of
such a man. However it is so highly unlikely that a figure from fiction could
be born and start to breathe, that I would place the Bible’s account of Jesus into the
realm of supernatural folk tales.
