Actually, it was just over the weekend when I was specifically told that Osiris and Jesus myths share details... Specifically, one would think, the death and resurrection aspect thereof.atrasicarius wrote:At the OP: I think you mixed up your myths. It's Jesus and Horus that are similar, not Jesus and Osiris IIRC.
The Horus link provided above rather puts paid to "that other Egyptian deity" claims as well, of course.
Incidentally, I just found a claim on Wiki that Osiris' willy was assumed to have been eaten by his murderer Set. That's a lot yuckier than the idea it was nibbled at by fish
