The more I research this, the more I have begun to consider the claims that perhaps Jesus Christ is a mythical figure handed down (“reincarnated”) in a giant game of telephone from the very earliest myths of a Savior or Son of God…

Here, for example, is an interesting musing on this concept that will possibly blow your mind – check it out…

HORUS OF EGYPT

The stories of Jesus and Horus are very similar, with Horus even contributing the name of Jesus Christ. Horus and his once-and-future Father, Osiris, are frequently interchangeable in the mythos (“I and my Father are one”). The legends of Horus go back thousands of years, and he shares the following in common with Jesus:

• Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger, with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.

• He was a child teacher in the Temple and was baptized .

• He had disciples.

• He performed miracles and raised one man, El-Azar-us, from the dead.

• He walked on water.

• Horus was transfigured on the Mount.

• He was crucified, buried in a tomb and resurrected.

• He was also the “Way, the Truth, the Light, the Messiah, God’s Anointed Son, the Son of Man, the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of God, the Word” etc.

• He was “the Fisher,” and was associated with the Lamb, Lion and Fish (“Ichthys”).

• Horus’s personal epithet was “Iusa,” the “ever-becoming son” of “Ptah,” the “Father.”

• Horus was called “the KRST,” or “Anointed One,” long before the Christians duplicated the story.

In fact, in the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis – the original “Madonna and Child” – and the Vatican itself is built upon the papacy of Mithra, who shares many qualities with Jesus and who existed as a deity long before the Jesus character was formalized. The Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version it replaced. Virtually all of the elements of the Catholic ritual, from miter to wafer to water to altar to doxology, are directly taken from earlier pagan mystery religions.
