it was the Christians, they were really good at hearing stories or seeing symbols from other beliefs and going "oh, we have that but the one true god says it goes like this... You should join us because we're so similar and you too can get into heaven". So basically no matter what ancient cultures stories you read you can point out Christian bits...
(side note. the word "heaven" didn't originally mean the fancy "dreams come true" place we think of today. Back in the middle ages up to, some point I don't know it simply meant the sky. The old cartoons that depict angels on clouds is more accurate to the former than what we think now with it as a separate plane.)
