Question about a supposed Jesus myth

[EachNewDawn]

A few years ago, I was talking with a friend of a family member and the conversation turned towards Christianity. This person tried to discredit Jesus' resurrection by saying it was myth or symbol to do with the sun rising (I don't remember his exact words). At the time, I didn't know how to respond as I'd never heard such a thing before. I've tried to find reference to this on more than one occasion, and whilst I've come across other myths to do with Jesus Christ, I haven't found anything on this particular one. So, has anyone heard of such a myth or was it perhaps something just this person was spouting?

Peace be with you,

It's a pagan, something to do with the sun gods of antiquity, google it.

Some people TRY to equate ancient legends and myths of other gods to show that Jesus was just a copycay god.
The problem is the more often than not, they have no idea what they are talking about.
Here is a good site to see some of the more common attempts to "co-related" other gods so as to give the impression of causation:
