I don't want to watch the whole video. Are they saying there was an Egyptian god with the same vita as Jesus Christ?This is positively fascinating. I need to look further into this ancient Egyptian god who was born of a virgin and turned water into wine, was killed and rose from the dead.
Well, maybe not exactly the same, but with many similarities. I've heard of such things before (a certain Mithras, I think, for instance).Are they saying there was an Egyptian god with the same vita as Jesus Christ?
As I said, certain topoi are rather common in all places of the antiquity. Another one is the hide-the-child-by-the-riverside-so-evil-persecutors-can't-find-it story that happened to both Moses and Romulus and Remus. The story of Jesus' family fleeing to Egypt shortly after his birth is similar.It could also be that the similarities with Egyptian mythology are coincidences.
I don't think there was that much similarity between Mithras and Jesus. Mithras was some sort of assistant of Ahura-Mazda in Zoroastrianism, I think, but his cult in the Roman world (which was initially a competitor to Christianity, in a way) wasn't too connected with that as far as I know. The only definite action I know of that's associated with him is slaying a bull, which is frequently depicted in his iconography. I'm certainly far from an expert on Mithraism though, so there might be other similarities.I've heard of such things before (a certain Mithras, I think, for instance).

I started watching Netflix's The Queen's Gambit starring Anna Taylor Joy and Marcin Dorociński. @Bitmap
I've watched only half of it so far. What they're saying doesn't seem so unlikely to me, though it's of course mostly speculation.Is that as wingnut as the title would suggest, or do they make Serious Points?
