Parallels with this and Christ's resurrection are stretched to say the least.
This and other "mysteries" flourished long after the closing of the cannon of Scripture anyroad.
It would be far more accurate to say that the above story was influenced by Christianity.

All Egyptian mythology predates Christianity.
