In his landmark 1875 work, author and religious scholar Kersey Graves presents a comparative analysis of various mythological and religious figures from different cultures who, according to him, share similarities with Jesus Christ, particularly in their crucifixion and resurrection narratives. Graves argues that the story of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection is not unique to Christianity but has parallels in other religious traditions. He identifies sixteen different savior figures from various cultures throughout history who were crucified and resurrected. These figures include Osiris of Egypt, Krishna of India, Mithras of Persia, and others.
