It is quite amazing that Christians believe that their religion dates back to the first century CE, when the name of Jesus itself is in the Old Testament and the Ancient Egyptians revered the sun of God with this very same name.
On the other hand the plagiarised stories which we call the Bible never really got going until the end of the 4th century CE when it was far too late for anybody to question the myths. The crucifixion story was added even much later, possibly not until the 6th century. Yes there were crucifixion stories earlier than that but these were all to do with other Gods, not the Christian story.
The big give away are the Roman Coins which still featured the old Sol Invictus Religion as the State religion as late as 312CE.
The ancients used to show their deities on the reverse side of coins. Ancient Greeks portrayed the sun God Helios, and the Romans issued coins with Mars or Sol Invictus (Helios) on one side.
If then, Chrisitianity was as strong in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries, CE, as Christians would have us believe, why is it that there is no Christian symbol on any of those early coins?
Constantine had his famous vision in 312CE, yet he still continued to mint coins with Sol Invictus on them. He did a figure holding a form of a cross eventually, but still minted coins with his true Sun God on them.
