Ganeval emphasised the thorough similarities of Christianity and Osiris cult, which go ultimately back to Sun worship. From the fragments of Papias it becomes obvious that the Gospels he saw referring to the Egyptian Christ.
Based on Phocius, Ganeval underlined that most early Christian theologers had absolutely no concept of a physical, historical Jesus. Heresiologer Epiphanius insinuates in his refutations that Jesus was essentially seen as Horus, closest relative of Osiris. For Hieronymus, those heresies go back to apostolic times. Emperor Hadrian supposedly wrote that the Christians were worshippers of Serapis, and vice versa. Philo's writings and the UrGospels certainly refer to Serapis, not Jesus.
