Does Christianity borrow from other religions? After looking around I found this information.
Similarites between Jesus and Mithra who appeared as early as 300BC. There are many scuptures and carvings on temples of Mithra. A quick google image search for 'mithra' will help you to see them.

Mithra was born out of solid rock.
The festival of Mithra is know known to all of us as Easter.
