How unique was Jesus?

Thanks EvilPoet,

This was interesting.....

Probably the most obvious is the story of Osiris, Isis, Horus and Set, or at least their final positions, along with some of the surrounding icons. I will not repeat the story itself, but in the end, Osiris becomes the god of the heavens while Set is outcast as the evil lord of the underworld. Isis is the mother of Horus, who in tern becomes a living god in the form of the pharaoh. The associations of Osiris and the Christian supreme being, Isis as the Mother Mary Horus as Jesus and Set as the devil are obvious, and ancient icons depict Isis suckling Horus almost exactly as Mary would later be shown suckling the baby Jesus.
 
None of these "ancient" religions are really very old, are they? Even 5000 years ago mankind had been around a long, long, time.
 
Question ...

Have any of you ever read "The Jesus Mysteries" by Timothy
Freke & Peter Gandy? The reason I ask is because there are
some very interesting pictures in it and I wondered if anyone
else had seen them. :)
 
Well, I don't mean to sound vague but I think you need to
see the pictures to see what I mean. I tried surfing the net
to find ones that looked similar but didn't have much luck. :(

If you are so inclined and get a chance you should check out
the book. Not just for the pics - it is also an interesting read
imo. Lots of food for thought. I also thought this article about
the book might be of interest. :)

Raising a holy ruckus
