@swm "its not just the story of horus that became the story of jesus. there are at least sixteen other myths involving crucified saviours"
Isn't that because all the other myths like Jesus are descended from Horus (3000 BC).
For example we know Horus as Jesus
In Phyrgia (ancient greece 1200 BCE) Horus became Attis
In India (900 BC) Horus became Khrishna
In Greece (500 BC) Horus became Dionysus
In Persia (1200 BC) Horus became Mythra
Note, all these came after Horus. Each culture has tailored and personified the Egyptian sun god Horus into their own son of the divine.. Also note, these share many other attributes like born on 25th december unto a virgin (like Horus), also performed miricles, some walked on water, had 12 disclples (12 being the months of the year as Christianity is astrology of the ancient Egypt), all died & resurected etc etc..
"The Christian religion is a parody of the worship of the sun, in which they put a man called Jesus in place of the sun god Horus, and pay him the adoration originally payed to the sun". Thomas Faine 1737-1809

All of these birthdays were celebrated on the 25 of December which is also the winter solstic of the sun. And, all of them were celebrated on Easter, which is the Spring Equinox of the Sun. And, all were born in a manger or a cave with wise men, sheep/lamb, etc.
Which is the story of Horus the Sun God in Egyptian Mythology. Christmas is a pagan tradition based on the sun. And died on the cross is astrological as the sun dies (winter solstis and is resurected) it is about astrology as was Horus.
