I see a lot of similarities between Jesus of Nazareth and Siddhārtha Gautama, aka The Buddha. Very little is known about their early lives, most texts regarding their lives and teachings weren't written until years after their deaths, legend holds that each received "wise men" shortly after birth who predicted that he would be a king, both are the figureheads of modern religious tradition, both are credited with begining their spiritual journeys in the late 20's, both are credited with preaching to even the lowest social classes, etc.
