Long time before that it was about the Babylonian god Tammuz (son of Nimrod and Semiramis) with Tammuz being risen from the dead at sunrise. Egyptians celebrated a sunrise service also with Horus (son of Osiris and Isis) being raised from the dead.
Semiramis, Isis, Ishtar, Mary and all it’s derivatives are one in the same. Same with Tammuz, Horus, Jesus and all its derivatives.
If you think I’m making it up just do your research into the syncretism of Jewish and pagan beliefs that resulted in Christianity. Same with Islam. Islam was created from the syncretism of pagan Arab beliefs and Jewish ones as well as Christian, Hindu, and Zoroastrian.
I saw the movie Zeitgeist also, if you are going to quote facts at least give credit to the source and not credit them as your own.
The Satanic obfuscation of the real and only true God of Abraham sure got you ropadoped didn’t he!

I think you’re drinking too much rocket fuel if you think all of these personages are “one and the same”. Jesus was a real, historical figure. Only someone entirely biased against all the evidence (Christian, Jewish, and Roman documents) would say otherwise.
You can argue and disbelieve that he rose from the dead or did any of the miracles given in the New Testament, but Jesus actually existed. Ishtar, Horus, Osiris did not.
Also, without the resurrection of Jesus there would be no Christianity. The resurrection is the foundation of Christianity. And, the resurrection of Jesus from the dead was a once and for all event - not a cyclical recurring event as in other cultures.
I’m not denying that this idea of “resurrection from the dead” by some other diety did not occur in other culture’s beliefs. But, to assume that that makes all beliefs regarding the resurrection one and the same is illogical. Perhaps other cultures had these ideas of rising from the dead and an afterlife because these ideas are imprinted on them by a common Creator?
There is no doubt that Christianity and Judaism are linked - but they are not syncretistic of each other. Rather, they are connected by the same scriptures and the same view of God. Jesus claimed to be the promised Messiah of the Old Testament scriptures - Christianity did not create this “messiah” idea - it was already there. Jews and Christians just disagree that the messiah is Jesus. Other than that - there really isn’t that much difference.
You will find examples of certain individual stories (creation stories, flood stories) in the Old Testament that are similar to stories in other pagan religions - but not with the same view of God nor the same meaning. They are quite different.
Except that the Islamist don’t want to have another one come after. They just kill everyone else.
