The earliest religion is SUN worship.
Jesus is the SON. He is pictured with a halo.
The SUN dies for three days on Dec 22 when it stops it's movement south (The Winter Solstice)
..to be "born again" on Dec 25th when it resumes it's movement south.
In some areas, the calendar began in the constellation, VIRGO - making the SUN being born of a VIRGIN.
the SUN is the light of the world, "cometh inthe clouds, every eye shall see him, "rising in the morning" - reflections of it "walk on water"
The SUN has 12 disciples - 12 months=12 signs of the zodiac through which the SUN must pass.
The sun at 12:00 noon is in the house, or temple - the SON begins his father's work at age 12.
The sun enters each sign of the zodiac at 30 degrees, hence, The SON began his ministry at age, 30.
The sun is "crucified" - passing through the equinoxes - the Vernal Equinox, being easter, at which time it is then resurrected.
The reason why the savior myths are so similar with a god-man who is crucified

and resurrected
Who does miracles and has 12 disciples is that these stories were based on the movements of the sun through the heavens
…an astrological development that can be found throughout the planet because the sun and the 12 zodiac signs can be observed around the globe.
in other words, Jesus Christ and all the others upon whom this character is predicated are personifications of the sun
…and the Gospel fable is merely a rehash of a mythological formula revolving around the movements of the sun through the heavens.
It makes sense since our whole existence depends upon the sun. The sun sustains life and our world. The sun is so bright we cannot look upon it with the naked eye without being blinded. We cannot stay in the sun for very long before we are burned. “There is the Father, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto, whom no man hath seen, nor can see; of such transcendent glory, of such all-consuming brightness of holiness, that no man could look upon Him.

WHat? How does the SUN die for three days? You think that I mean that the SUN stops? What blithering idiots!
Do I have to teach you everything?!?!?

The solstice is on the 21-22 (depending on the year). Besides, Jesus wasn't born on Christmas, Christmas is a borrowed holiday from the Roman's Saturnalia. The rest is just numerology.
That being said, halos are borrowed from Egyptian iconography depicting the sun and the first monotheistic sun worship. So you're halfway there on that point.

Learn some science before you spout that. The sun does not "stop its movement" for 3 days. After the solstice, the tilt reverses itself.
And it is a bit of a stretch to say the sun is "crucified" by passing through the equinox.
But I do appreciate you demonstrating how you can "prove" anything by piecing together coincidences. It's a fun exercise.

You left out only one point. Mary is the Woman Clothed with the Sun in the Book of Revelations 12:1 who gives birth to the Child who is to rule the nations. You can see her image on the Tilma of Juan Diego at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe [see link.]
Everything you said is so beautiful, I'm going to put it into a word document and save it. Thank you so much.

The beliefs of the ancients affect every religion we have today. Many religons have gods/goddesses being born in December. Many relgions have gods/goddesses that were killed/crucified/whatever by the population and promised to return. Many religions have flood myths. May religions have virgin births.
Many religions borrowed from others way back when. It's why they are very similar in basic premise.

Job 38:28
Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Job 9 is equally interesting.

Because the Creator of the Universe knew what was going to happen and so all of Creation reflects Him. In the Beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God.

There is actually an excellent series of books, starting with "The Jesus Mysteries" about the mythical pagan basis of Christianity.

Just another collection of information that may or may not be true and accurate....
What areas start the calendar in Virgo?
The rest is just made up stuff too ridiculous to verify.
Interesting - almost.
