    "The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors; Or, Christianity Before Christ" by Kersey Graves is a non-fiction book written in 1875. Graves claims Jesus was not a historical person but a creation based on earlier crucified god-men from various cultures. He lists sixteen ancient deities who allegedly shared similar traits with Christ—miraculous births, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Drawing heavily from earlier sources, Graves argues that Christianity's doctrines and miracles have pagan origins, challenging the uniqueness of the Christian narrative and offering controversial theories about religious history.
