actually according to wikipedia, it's not the same but a bit more interesting:

"Horus was born to the goddess Isis after she retrieved all the dismembered body parts of her murdered husband Osiris, except his penis which was thrown into the Nile and eaten by a catfish,[7][8] or sometimes by a crab, and according to Plutarch's account (see Osiris) used her magic powers to resurrect Osiris and fashion a golden phallus[9] to conceive her son (older Egyptian accounts have the penis of Osiris surviving).

Once Isis knew she was pregnant with Horus, she fled to the Nile Delta marshlands to hide from her brother Set who jealously killed Osiris and who she knew would want to kill their son.[10] There Isis bore a divine son, Horus."

So there you go pregnancy by "golden phallus". source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horus

The Bible does not mention anything about a golden phallus. So clearly this infographic is wrong.

Horus/Jesus isn't that close? Half the things in that image are totally made up. Gerald Massey has a lot to answer for.

Off the top of my head:

Horus wasn't conceived of a virgin (his mother hovered over Osiris golden phallus to conceive him but it's not referred to as virgin conception anywhere)
There are no three wise men in the story of Horus
Christ wasn't born on December 25th, it was moved to coincide with the winter festival. Originally it was celebrated in July. Christianity doesn't claim that's Christ's birthday, it claims to celebrate it then. Nowhere in the bible does it state "December 25th"
For that matter, neither was Horus. Horus' birth was during the Epagomenal Days which was a four day festival (of fertility, I believe) in the Egyptian calendar and it falls between August 24th and 28th. So I don't even know where they got that from
His birth was not heralded by a star
He was not taught in a temple as a child
There is no such person as Anup the Baptizer. Best I can figure it's another name for Anubis but that also doesn't make any sense.
Horus had four disciples. Later on he has 16 followers, and later still an unknown number join Horus for Mesnui (which was a large battle the details of which I cannot remember).
Horus performed miracles, but he didn't walk on the water. All Gods perform miracles to demonstrate their divinity whilst they're among men. He also didn't raise anyone called El-Azur-Us from the dead.
Not one of those names is accurate. Horus was called Avenger of his father, master of heaven, "great god" or "the great god" and a few others. The ones listed on your image are completely made up.
Horus wasn't crucified (he was bit my a serpent sent by Set) but even if he was it doesn't mean he died on a cross. I found a good quote googling Crucifixion is the act of nailing, binding or impaling a living victim or sometimes a dead person to a cross, stake or a tree, whether for executing the body or for exposing the corpse. Thousands of people were "crucified" but very few were done on a cross - a growing number are now arguing that not even Jesus was. It tended to be people nailed to big wooden X's from what we can tell.

Ok so every single point in your image was wrong, I didn't realize when I started. Mithras/Jesus is a better comparison.

Every single point on that image is wrong. Every last one. I just replied meaning to correct one or two and realize not a single one was right.
