Historical prototype of Christ

[rupol2000]

I think it's Artaxerxes Bess. He died a martyr's death at the hands of the Macedonians, and the plot of his execution is similar to the execution of Christ.

The biblical story itself is not reliable. The meaning of the concept of crucifixion is in tearing the body. Most likely there was no such execution as it is described in the Bible in general. No one would waste material on criminals just to hang them there.

In Persia, there was such an execution: two boards slowly tore the body, this is the crucifixion.
That is why in the Slavic language the name of the crucifixion has the semantics of "tearing" - "raspyatiye"


There are statues hanging on a pole. This is a separate punishment that Bess was subjected to before he was crucified.

The pillar and the cross are different pictorial subjects.

Before the arrival of the Huns in Europe, there was no symbolism of the crucifixion. Most likely, it was brought by the Hungarians, who just lived not far from Bactria, the place of the crucifixion of Bess
It was a symbol of memory and revenge.

Why don't you study actual history?

The history and pathology of crucifixion - PubMed

In antiquity crucifixion was considered one of the most brutal and shameful modes of death. Probably originating with the Assyrians and Babylonians, it was used systematically by the Persians in the 6th century BC. Alexander the Great brought it from there to the eastern Mediterranean countries...

Even before he was born, it was known that he would be someone special. A supernatural being informed his mother that the child she was to conceive would not be a mere mortal but would be divine. He was born miraculously, and he became an unusually precocious young man. As an adult he left home and went on an itinerant preaching ministry, urging his listeners to live, not for the material things of this world, but for what is spiritual. He gathered a number of disciples around him, who became convinced that his teachings were divinely inspired, in no small part because he himself was divine. He proved it to them by doing many miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead. But at the end of his life, he roused opposition, and his enemies delivered him over to the Roman authorities for judgment. Still, after he left this world, he returned to meet his followers in order to convince them that he was not really dead but lived on in the heavenly realm. Later some of his followers wrote books about him.

Actually I don't think there was a historical prototype of Christ. Certainly the Jews were not expecting their messiah to die on a cross. A lot of what we think of as the historical Jesus is the result of oral traditions and an evolution of Christian theology in the first few centuries after Jesus' death.

This is exactly "evolution"

No, it was just a written tradition: rewriting documents and canonization (with the throwing out of everything objectionable)
