One supposes these stories derive from the characteristic of major rivers, e.g. the Nile and the Euphrates, to rise in the Spring due to rains in the uplands.
Or, the stories could be about real events.

Personally I believe that the biblical stories are true and that the pagan myths and legands that are similar are counterfeits created to discredit these events.

Why?

The pagans who "invented" the Sargon story lived a thousand years before Moses?

Were the pagans more prescient than the Jews, or modern Christians?

There are plenty of them around, that's for sure.

Easter is about the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Nothing else. It has nothing to do with passover, which is mainly about the Exodus of Jews from Egypt. It is not a "change from passover to easter".

Passover rarely even falls at the same time because it's based on the 15th day of the Jewish calender month of Nissan.
