The primates who walked this earth before us thought the sun was their god, because the sun gives life and makes things grow. In december the sun would be so low for 3 days that it was barely visible. When after 3 days the sun went higher again, it was like a rebirth for them.
Fast forward to the writers of the bible, a combined book full of exaggerated myths and believes of the primitive people in those times. The God story went from the sun to a mythical being. The 3 days rebirth story was given to a guy they named Jesus.
