They have the same length during the vernal equinox , where some Mythicists à la Acharya (with all the doubts of the case) identified the crucifixion in the heavens. I think it's possible that Jesus' death and resurrection has something to do with...

Ezekiel 37: One Nation with One King When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people, 21you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israe...

Plutarch, Moralia, 368B The Apis, they say, is the animate image of Osiris,250 and he comes into being when a fructifying light thrusts forth from the moon and falls upon a cow in her breeding-season.251 Wherefore there are many thing...
