The Mithraists worshipped Mithra, a supreme God of the upper and nether world. They believed that their god died, was buried in a rock tomb, and was resurrected.


There is some speculation that this belief was influenced by Christian beliefs, and vice versa. Of course that is all it is, speculation.
