The list goes on and on and on, all of the above were ressurected in order to bring some previously unknown truth to humanity. Many where thought of as a 'messiah' (to use the Jewish word) within their culture. Somof the ressurection are symbollic in nature but most aren't. Many were said to be predestined to rise again to fulfil a prophesy. Many fo them didn't actually exist or we have no more evidence they existed then we do Jesus actually existed. Many were also the product of a virgin birth. They come from all different cultures from Indigenous Australian to Native American and of course the classic Nordic, Roman, Egyptian and Greek cultures. Many pre-date the time of Moses by 2000 years at least (in the case of indigenous Australians by about 50,000 years). The story of Jesus is not un-common.

Its sort of handy that the book which we can't prove is talking about a real person is said to fullfil some ancient prophesy. But many of the above also fullfil n ancient prophesy about a God coming back under a certain set of circumstances to bring something or give something to humanity.

You see Jesus was not and is not alone in being said to fullfil ancient prophesy but like many of the above the only evidence we have that these poeple (Gods) ever existed is a self referential book of dubious and unknown origins which is circular evidence and thus not worth all that much.

Some of the above are women which of course would never occur in the patriarchial Jedeo-Christian tradition because we are taught to fear women, they are temptresses, set to undermine man with the power of their sexuality.
