Fine. But if you want to use the multiplicity of ascension myths to
discredit the Christian ascension story - if, that is, you want these
facts to persuade anyone else - wouldn't it be a good idea to at least
find out whether these other myths existed? Or are you happy to take
it on faith that a godman called Horus was claimed to have ascended to
heaven?
