Here are some that happened before Jesus

According to Bhagavata Purana some believe that Krishna was born without
a sexual union, by “mental transmission” from the mind of Vasudeva into
the womb of Devaki, his mother. Christ and Krishna were called both
God and the Son of God. Both were sent from heaven to earth in the form
of a man. Both were called Savior, and the second person of the
Trinity. Krishna’s adoptive human father was also a carpenter. A
spirit or ghost was their actual father. Krishna and Jesus were of
royal descent. Both were visited at birth by wise men and shepherds,
guided by a star. Angels in both cases issued a warning that the local
dictator planned to kill the baby and had issued a decree for his
assassination. The parents fled. Mary and Joseph stayed in Muturea;
Krishna’s parents stayed in Mathura. Both Christ and Krishna withdrew
to the wilderness as adults, and fasted. Both were identified as “the
seed of the woman bruising the serpent’s head.” Jesus was called “the
lion of the tribe of Judah.” Krishna was called “the lion of the tribe
of Saki.” Both claimed: “I am the Resurrection.” Both were “without
sin.” Both were god-men: being considered both human and divine. Both
performed many miracles, including the healing of disease. One of the
first miracles that both performed was to make a leper whole. Each cured
“all manner of diseases.” Both cast out indwelling demons, and raised
the dead. Both selected disciples to spread his teachings. Both were
meek, and merciful. Both were criticized for associating with sinners.
Both celebrated a last supper. Both forgave his enemies. Both were
crucified and both were resurrected.

Romulus is born of a vestal virgin, which was a priestess of the hearth
god Vesta sworn to celibacy. His mother claims that the divine
impregnated her, yet this is not believed by the King. Romulus and his
twin brother, Remus, are tossed in the river and left for dead. (A
“slaughter of the innocents” tale which parallels that of Matthew
2:13-16). Romulus is hailed as the son of god. He is “snatched away to
heaven” by a whirlwind (It is assumed that the gods took him), and he
makes post mortem appearances. In his work Numa Pompilius, Plutarch
records that there was a darkness covering the earth before his death
(Just as there was during Jesus’ death according to Mark 15:33). He also
states that Romulus is to be know afterwards as ‘Quirinus’; A god which
belonged to the Archiac Triad (a “triple deity” similar to the concept
of the Trinity).

Dionysus was born of a virgin on December 25 and, as the Holy Child, was
placed in a manger. He was a traveling teacher who performed miracles.
He “rode in a triumphal procession on an ass.” He was a sacred king
killed and eaten in an eucharistic ritual for fecundity and
purification. Dionysus rose from the dead on March 25. He was the God of
the Vine, and turned water into wine. He was called “King of Kings” and
“God of Gods.” He was considered the “Only Begotten Son,” Savior,”
“Redeemer,” “Sin Bearer,” Anointed One,” and the “Alpha and Omega.” He
was identified with the Ram or Lamb. His sacrificial title of
“Dendrites” or “Young Man of the Tree” intimates he was hung on a tree
or crucified.

Heracles is the Son of a god (Zeus). It is recorded that Zeus is both
the father and great-great- great grandfather of Heracles, just as
Jesus is essentially his own grandpa, being both “The root and offspring
of David” (Revelation 22:16) as he is part of the triune God which is
the father of Adam and eventually of Jesus. Both are doubly related to
the Supreme God.

Diodorus writes that,”For as regards the magnitude of the deeds which
he accomplished it is generally agreed that Heracles has been handed
down as one who surpassed all men of whom memory from the beginning of
time has brought down an account; consequently it is a difficult
attainment to report each one of his deeds in a worthy manner and to
present a record which shall be on a level with labours so great, the
magnitude of which won for him the prize of immortality.”

Jesus is also said to have done a very large number of good works.
John 21:25 says that: “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one
of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would
not have room for the books that would be written.”

Hera tries to kill Heracles as an infant by sending two serpents
after him, yet Heracles survives by strangling them. This parallels
Herod’s slaughter of the innocents in an attempt to kill Jesus (Matthew
2:13-16).

Heracles makes a descent into Hades and returns from it with Theseus
and Peirithoüs, just as Jesus descends into the “lower parts of the
earth” or Hades (Ephesians 4:7-8); Though Jesus does not bring anyone up
from it. Heracles’ body is not found and he is assumed to have been
taken by the gods:”After this, when the companions of Iolaüs came to
gather up the bones of Heracles and found not a single bone anywhere,
they assumed that, in accordance with the words of the oracle, he had
passed from among men into the company of the gods.”

Zoroaster was born of a virgin and “immaculate conception by a ray of
divine reason.” He was baptized in a river. In his youth he astounded
wise men with his wisdom. He was tempted in the wilderness by the devil.
He began his ministry at age 30. Zoroaster baptized with water, fire
and “holy wind.” He cast out demons and restored the sight to a blind
man. He taught about heaven and hell, and revealed mysteries, including
resurrection, judgment, salvation and the apocalypse. He had a sacred
cup or grail. He was slain. His religion had a eucharist. He was the
“Word made flesh.” Zoroaster’s followers expected a “second coming” in
the virgin-born Saoshynt or Savior, who is to come in 2341 AD and begin
his ministry at age 30, ushering in a golden age.

Attis was born on December 25 of the Virgin Nana. He was considered the
savior who was slain for the salvation of mankind. His body as bread was
eaten by his worshippers. He was both the Divine Son and the Father. On
“Black Friday,” he was crucified on a tree, from which his holy blood
ran down to redeem the earth. He descended into the underworld. After
three days, Attis was resurrected.

Horus
Born of a virgin, Isis. Only begotten son of the God Osiris. Birth
heralded by the star Sirius, the morning star. Ancient Egyptians
paraded a manger and child representing Horus through the streets at the
time of the winter solstice (about DEC-21). In reality, he had no birth
date; he was not a human. Death threat during infancy: Herut tried to
have Horus murdered. Handling the threat: The God That tells Horus’
mother “Come, thou goddess Isis, hide thyself with thy child.” An angel
tells Jesus’ father to: “Arise and take the young child and his mother
and flee into Egypt.” Break in life history: No data between ages of 12
& 30. Age at baptism: 30. Subsequent fate of the baptiser:
Beheaded. Walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick, restored
sight to the blind. Was crucifed, descended into Hell; resurrected after
three days.

Odin was hung from Yggdrasil (the world tree)for nine days and nights
in sacrifice to himself that parallels Jesus’ crucifixion. As he hung
there he was also pierced in the side by a spear. I know it isn’t as
total as the rest of these are, but it does resemble it some. Here is
part of the speech of Odin that describes it from the Havamal.

I know I hung on that

Windswept tree, swung

There for nine long nights,

Wounded by my own blade,

Bloodied for Odin,

Myself and offering to

Myself, bound to the tree,

That no man knows wither

The roots of it run,

None gave me bread, none

Game me drink
