Other Gods Like Jesus

Many Gods and myths prior to Jesus in the first century describe gods with the same characteristics and identical stories of Jesus.

FitzRoy Somerset wrote a book on his studies of tradition dealing with the archtype "Hero".
The "Mythic Hero Archetype" is a set of 22 common traits shared by many heroes in various cultures, myths and religions throughout history and around the world.

Listed here (Mythic hero archetype) , the 22 traits are listed out. Reading these you will immediately see the resemblance to Jesus' traits. He has 19. Among the other "heroes" most are ancient greek gods that were prior to Jesus' time.
Oedipus with all 22.
Theseus with 20.
Romulus with 17.
and so on.

I was going to go on and list more(there are a lot more) gods with similar traits and events that mirror the story of Jesus, but it would be long and redundant and the information is easily accessible.
The point of this blog is that prior to Jesus there were many gods that resembled and did the things that Jesus did.

There is one character that I recently stumbled onto though. He is from the Bible and I have no idea why I have never heard of him until recently.
His name is Melchizedek
This priest is mentioned 2 times in the old testament and a few times in the book of Hebrews Paul compares Jesus to him and even sways the argument that Jesus now replaces him as ...'a priest forever'.
Paul refers to Melchizedek in Hebrews 7:3 ^"Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever."

This character is without mother or father, without beginning or end. He is essentially a god, Paul describes basically as God, because only God has no beginning or end if he is the ultimate creator.
These are key verses that promote the doctrine of the eternal Jesus. The question would be that doesn't remove this character from existence. Yes Paul compares Jesus with Melchizedek, and even goes as far as Jesus replacing him as the eternal priest, but who was this eternal priest? How can God be eternal and creator of all things... if there is another 'being' without beginning or end?
