The similarity happened well before the bible record of Jesus.
<1>The bible itself is an abstract from olden cuneiform scripts of Babylonian, Egyptian and Akkadian origin. Those scripts were variations from a single source of Sumerian cuneiform clay tablets. Most of these tablets are in major museums in London and Germany.
<2> In Egyptian folklore, there was this Benben bird (not a phoenix), which came and started civilization. It later returned regularly to give further instructions to the priest.
<3> Before that, the Sumerian cuneiform clay tablet recorded the arrival of gods known as Annunaki, who provided the floor plan <1>and technology to make clay-molded bricks<2> and created the first Temple and, later, Babylonian step pyramid. One of their goddess stole a major chunk of a knowhow capsule and gave them to the humans. It was recorded that this goddess<3> traveled to the East at about 2260 BC. Its related Middle Eastern construction technology was recorded in India, Sichuan of China and even Cambodia. In the West, it was linked to major civilizations all the way to South America.
<4> Floor plan <1> The first Jewish temple in Jerusalem had extreme similarity with the Sumerian one and, later, the temple in England that was featured in the movie ‘The Da Vinci Code’.
<5> Clay molded brick粘土砖<2> This was discovered in San Xing Dui (3 star hill 三星堆) in Sichuan of China, but its significance was overlooked. As for the rest of China, zhong tu qiang 舂土墙(wall made of pounded earth) was the local construction technology then. But the bronze face mask青铜面具, the royal staff 权杖(rod-like apparatus representing regal authority) and the superior bronze processing technology going well beyond those used in the rest of China at the time was one of the issues which made some scholars and archaeologists unhappy in China, especially the presence of a golden tree 黄金树(featured in Sumerian records and the bible as a tree of life or tree of wisdom) and great amount of seashells of Arabian Sea origin.
<6> Not far from San Xing Dui is a historical site which is about a few hundreds years more recent, called Jin Sha Yiji 金沙遗迹(Golden Sand site). Most of the finds are similar, but the bronze processing technology is retarded instead of advanced. These finds are almost identical with the bronze artifacts of the Shang Dynasty but with a slight advantage. This upset the scholars and archaeologist of China in a big way, in that the site was kept a secret. Until the local farmers were so envious of the progress in Xian 西安over the tomb of Qin Shi Huang秦始皇, they donated funds voluntarily and with the local officials they built a museum despite the blockade by the archaeologists and ancient history scholars.
<7> Actually, the Chinese archaeologists and ancient history scholars should not be too upset. The Shang Dynasty商朝 and Babylonian share many cultural similarities, with their state of technology such as metallurgy of bronze processing actually showing a certain level of degradation from the Sumerian era. In both cultures, an act of augury evolved into a major political ceremony and decision-making process of the ruling structure.
<8> Whether some of civilization of China did come from the West, the most tale-telling sign in those times was around the time of the Shang or earlier Dynasty. The major deity in China mythology then was Xi Wang Mu 西王母(Western Mother Goddess) which coincided with the records of the Sumerian goddess<3> who traveled eastward around 2260BC.
<9> In Sumerian cuneiform clay tablet history, it was described that humans were conceived out of the experiment and carried to full term by a goddess. Today, DNA evidence shows that all humans have a single mother 150,000 to 200,000 years ago.
<10> To make the Chinese archaeologists and scholars even more embarrassed, Quo Moruo, once a Political Bureau of PRC member (who made a systematic study of characters that were recorded on the Oracle bone fragments甲骨文 as well as bronze artifacts of the Shang Dynasty and propagated the belief that some of Confucius’ teachings were fabricated and that it contradicted the historical events as recoded in Oracle 甲骨文 and bronze texts钟鼎文) recorded in his study that the Chinese character ‘emperor’ 帝– ‘di’ − was adapted from Babylonian cuneiform text.

黎季玛花飞在南中海 Lijimas blossom near the South Sea
黄昏习习香气那里来 Dusk breeze pervades, fragrance from somewhere
待黎明静静又最黑暗 Dawn awaits silently in the dark
海波拍岸浪花阵阵哀 Surf breaking in froth, not the sorrow
最寂黑的夜没得坦白 A dark silent night with no last rites
最没用的语言谁来睬？ 《１》 An unspoken tongue which none bothers
最贵黄金买最窄的舱 Precious gold buys the narrowest berth
最多的人矮矮的船载 Max load of seafarers to the brim
就这样海龟破蛋出航 Like hatched turtles breaking to the sea
沙滩红蚁冲头盲 《２》 Red ants buzzing the shore, blind
冲过了海平线又奈何？ Even if the horizon is breached,
海盗出鲨鱼来谁敢想？ 《３》 Pirates and sharks prowling, who goes there?
船上手划海上就脚踩 Row with hands, jump the plank, swim the sea
十倒百溺多少被牵开？ 《４》 Tens down, hundreds drown; some led away?
等到天明微笑看铁丝 At daybreak, the barbed fence is smiling
队伍长人头少慢慢排 Long queue, short quota, patience awaits
终于千人选一从头来 One in thousands, starts afresh at last ...
多少年不吭声在海外 《５》 Over the sea and ocean, silence!
《１》 Most of the boat-people are small-scale merchants of Chinese descent.
大部分的船民是华裔小商人。
《２》 Although fees are paid, machine gun military raids are
conducted prior to boarding due to overselling of berths.
虽然还了费用；为了超载，军部还是用机关枪在上船前扫射。
《３》 Along the voyage, painted armed vessels of unknown origin will appear
to extort money from the refugees.
在航路上，不知来历重新上漆的军舰会出现来敛财。
《４》 To destroy evidence, males and children are thrown into the open sea,
and young women are escorted away, never to be seen again.
为了消灭证据证人，男丁和儿童被丢下海；年轻女人被带走后，都不知所终。
《５》 All major governments in Asia and the western hemisphere have not pursued
justice to prosecute those responsible.
所有的亚洲和西方政府们，至今都没有对有关人士追究责任。
