The study of solar mythology (astro-theology) indicates that savior myths, including that of Jesus Christ, had their origin in the heavens. Ancient people looked up at the heavens, noted patterns and regular movements of the sun, moon and stars.
The height of the sun told them the time of day - the phases of the moon told them the time of the month - the position of the constellations in the night sky told them the time of the year - useful information if you want to know when to plant, when to harvest, when to hunt, when to feast, when to celebrate the re-birth of the sun in winter. They made up fables as a way of passing on their knowledge to future generations.
After thou sands of years, these fables lost their original meanings and in stead came to be believed as true accounts of the lives of past and present super natural beings/gods. This was encouraged by the growing priesthood. More time passed and these stories began to be incorporated in to their religious beliefs - sun gods, moon goddess es etc. Stories circulated about some of these 'sun gods' making themselves visible on earth - these were the suns/sons of gods. The rest I leave to your imagination...
