Lol, I've seen people here mention that movie Zeitgeist a few times in the past month or so but every person who has mentioned it seems to have taken it for granted that everyone here knows what it's about.
But if you are saying that it's got something to do with this topic then I'll check it out. Hope it's on DVD and thanks for mentioning it!

What does everyone know of Akhenaten. Akhenaten was born of a virgin mother by divine means. What was his role in history?
"Born of a Virgin"
This makes reference to another sidereal phenomena happening at the same time. On the eastern horizon on the morning of the 25th of December, the ancients noticed the sign of Virgo. This was always known as being associated with Isis, the divine and archetypal Mother. So it was said that the sun of god, the light of the world was born or risen again after 3 days, and that he is born in a manger, of a Virgin. And even long before these particular constellational dynamics were known, the sun was said to be born of a virgin. The relevance came from the fact that in ancient times, the Egyptian New Year began in the sign of Virgo, on the 25th of July. So it was said that the sun was "born of a virgin," or in a virgin. And we read that Mary came into the Inn upon a donkey or ass. This refers again to Cancer, as one of the largest and most well known of the constellations in Cancer was and is called the Ass. This constellation and that of the Manger can be seen on any planispheres. In the art-work of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, four animals are commonly seen around the cot of Jesus. There is the donkey, the bull, the lamb and the lion. These represent the constellations and paranatellons of the Cardinal signs. There can be no other reason why a lion would be incorporated into the depiction. Actually, the reference to Mary being a virgin is not from the Bible being the essence of physical accuracy. The word almah, was mistranslated to read "virgin" when it really meant "unmarried mother." The mistranslation occurred purposely to align the concoction of the "biography" of Jesus to ancient cosmological and mythic motifs. The Christian should realize that if the Gospels were indeed a real biography, they would be infinitely more consistent than they are. And also if Christ existed, he did not write himself, begging the question as to whether his was the action of someone desirous of being remembered, or of someone intent on founding a new religion. He also directly prohibited any public prayer or ceremony. Were these words heeded by the founding fathers, who pretended to be so conscientious in their veracity?
The great star in the Virgin, appearing on the eastern edge of the horizon, at the moment of midnight, between the 24th and 25th of December, when the sun gains his first ascension, was said to preside over his nativity, and gave occasion to the fable of Christ, i.e., the sun being born of a Virgin.

The connections people are attributing to Jesus are not in the bible. They are catholic traditions, which were added to the practice of christianity but are not in the bible. For example:
1. JESUS WAS NOT BORN ON DECEMBER 25TH. This was a Catholic invention, to replace the Roman Empire's Pagan Celebration of the Winter Solstice with a Celebration of the Birth of Christ. Christ was born, based on the events listed and compared to the Hebrew calendar, sometime in September.
2. ISIS WAS NOT A VIRGIN. She was married to Osiris long before Horus was born. In fact, if you read the "SHABAKA STONE" text, it shows that Horus was already alive before Osiris drowned and took part in his rescue from his "water"
3. THE HEBREW TEXTS ARE NOT COPYCATS OF ANCIENT EGYPT. The texts of Akkadia (said to be Sumerian) are closer to the Bible than anything Egyptian.
4. SUMERIAN-AKKADIAN ENKI WAS SATAN. Please review Enki's history and do a comparative analysis of the biblical "Serpent in the Garden."

It's clear there are differences of opinions on the actual sources of things mentioned in the Bible but it's fascinating that such material even exists where we can analyze and compare those different sources to determine for ourselves what's closer to the truth.
This involves a tremendous amount of time and effort but thankfully, there are so many people out there who have already done the leg work on a lot of this (you included) so that makes our research on these topics so much less time consuming.
