You must not have clicked the links I provided. Apart from Jesus replacing Sol Invictus, a pagan god whose birthday was Dec 25 (connected to the winter solstice where the sun is at its lowest point in the sky for 3 days before being resurrected), in some cases he was actually equated to the old pagan god, even in artwork in St Peter’s Basilica. See here Jesus is the sun and is being pulled by horse drawn chariots across the sky.
so a random image in a tomb that happens to look similar to Sol Invictus, so it must be that the birth of Jesus is based on Sol Invictus.
How do you know the person pictured in the image you posted is Jesus?
Could it be someone else? IDK like Ezekiel being taken up to heaven by a chariot of fire?
edit: it's common to use the sun to respesent Christ, as he is the light of the world. As the scriptures tell us.
You are proving correlation not causation.

It is Sol Invictus. It is also not in a random tomb, rather a tomb in Vatican City under St Peter’s Basilica, which as you know is very Christian.

We don’t know. It’s just that scholars believe it is most likely.

Maybe. But consider the other pictures in the same tomb are distinctly Jesus such as the one where he is carrying a lamb.

Yes, and Paul described fellow Christians as “children of light” (Essenes of Dead Sea Scrolls fame also used the same terminology).
