Saviours who pre-date Jesus?

Hello, nice to meet you all. I am a fellow atheist who just signed up today.

 

My question is regarding the story of Jesus being the saviour of mankind and whether or not there have been previous "savious" which predate Christianity?

I am aware of Horus, Mithras and Osirus, but the evidence of them being saviours is a bit dubious.

Does anyone have any solid information about these or any others who were "savious of mankind"?

 

Thanks again, This seems like a great forum Smiling
