The movie zeitgeist

by jharbs71

I recently watched the movie and tried to do some research the on the subject of jesus, mithra, dionysus, attis, and maybe a few others (I cant remember). Is there any truth to the claims of the similarities?

With Zeitgeist specifically, the answer generally is that no, there's no truth to it. This lists some of them. A few illustrative examples:

  1. Horus wasn't born of a virgin, as the movie states, but by Isis impregnating herself with Osiris' penis
  • Horus didn't die, and wasn't resurrected
  • Horus didn't have 12 disciples
  • The film connects Jesus being the 'son' with 'sun' gods, but those two words don't even sound similar in the relevant languages
