They knew about it some kind of way, because even in the Bible god shows the prophet the women crying over the dead sun (Ezekiel 8:14)During the winter solstice, the southern tip of the Earth faces the sun which for 3 days does not rise above 23 degrees 27 minutes.. It takes 3 days for the southern tip of the Earths to pass the sun as it moves towards the vernal equinox. So from the northern hemisphere, it looks like the sun is resurrecting after 3 days under the Earth. Sound familiar?
Is it not also interesting that the first 30 years of Jesus life are as obscure as the sign of Capricorn under which he was supposedly born. 30 years/30 days?
Like I said, just about everything we've been taught about Jesus was stolen from astrology.
I'm afraid that's not really true. You might want to reconsider your sources. They are not as credible as you might think.
