After extensive google-ing, this is what I have come up with. Egyptian spirituality is highly symbolic, but there are some similarities.
THE SUN AND THE NILE
To the Egyptians there were two sources of nature's powers: the sun and the Nile. These were the springs of life for gods, people, animals, and plants.
Dawn was seen as a re-enactment of original moment of creation. All creatures deferred to the sun as it began its journey into the heavens. Baboons gathered on the rocks above the river at daybreak; they faced the newborn sun, while raising their hands in an act of adoration.
Another belief was that the soul of the sun-god, Ra emerges in the material world as a luminous image: a redolent flower. The god is the force inside each and every flower; it pushes them up out of the earth and causes them to unfold; the force of this god rises up through men and women as well. It is the actualizing force of nature.
Another Egyptian belief was that the soul of Ra, the sun-god, is the force inside each and every flower; it pushes the flowers up out of the earth and causes them to unfold; it gives them their redolence. The force of the sun rises up through men and women as well. It is the actualizing force in all of nature.
When vulture spread their wings to soak up the warmth of the new sun, it seemed an act of prayer. Even the massive crocodiles oriented themselves towards the sun as they opened their sharp-toothed jaws.
The Nile was a sacred river; it's annual rise was a seen as a supreme act of grace. At different times and places, the Nile was personified as either Osiris, the green faced god of fertility or Hapi, an old, somewhat androgynous man with sagging breasts.
Have a good holiday

Japan had a rising god...look at the Japanese flag
one Pharaoh of Egypt worshiped one god..the son god...and he threw out all other of the Egyptian gods.
the Mayans worshiped the god of the son
but the Christian does not worship the rising god as thee
Christians follow God's Plan of salvation which represents wisdom to the believers, but it is foolishness to the unbelievers

Yes. Mithras did that. Hundreds of years before Jesus, according to the Mithraic religion, three Wise Men of Persia came to visit the baby savior-god Mithra, bring him gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense. Mithra was born on December 25 as told in the “Great Religions of the World”, page 330; “…it was the winter solstice celebrated by ancients as the birthday of Mithraism’s sun god”. According to Mithraism, before Mithra died on a cross, he celebrated a “Last Supper with his twelve disciples, who represented the twelve signs of the zodiac. After the death of Mithra, his body was laid to rest in a rock tomb. Mithra had a celibate priesthood. Mithra ascended into heaven during the spring (Passover) equinox (the time when the sun crosses the equator.

Mithraism, from which the whole Christian thing was 'borrowed' (read: plagiarized).
Khemeticism (ancient egyptian), in the form of Osirus.

Does the word "Osiris" mean anything to you?
If not, I would recommend you do some research. Knowledge is a good thing.
