I will say again 'BEFORE' Jesus, as Christianity is still a fairly young belief system

this is for sean_n_melissa2005
A deity, god, or borus is a postulated preternatural being, usually, but not always, of significant power, worshipped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, or respected by human beings. They assume a variety of forms, but are frequently depicted as having human or animal form. Sometimes it is considered blasphemous to imagine the deity as having any concrete form. They are usually immortal. They are commonly assumed to have personalities and to possess consciousness, intellects, desires, and emotions much like humans.

Harmakhis - is the god of resurrection in Egypt
Ra - he was reborn every morning
Horus - also a symbol of resurrection
also, Tammuz, Attis, and Adonis
I'm sure there are more, these are just the ones I know. Hope it helps

brain not working tonight so all i can offer here is this -
Lazarus in the bible was given this name as it is a derivative of Osiris and means resurrected.
Still held up with Christianity and I know your question was pre Jesus. Sorry.

None. No modern or historic built deities are real. The deities themselves are but the images are not. They are just wooden and metal images.
Sorry to bust your bubble.

I dont think anyone was actually resurrected before Christ, being He opened the way for resurrection to be possible.

Jesus died as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Because He is sinless!
There is no other Name under Heaven given amongst men, whereby we must be saved.

We don't know anything for sure. But it's good literature.
