Not sure what you'd expect to find? 2000 year old court records from an outlying province? A long form birth certificate? His tax returns?

    In that case there are tons of historical figures that should be assumed to have not existed. If we had such high standards we would have to erase most of our ancient history as rumor.

    A lot of historical figures get mentioned by contemporary writing of that period- the more important that person is the more information can generally be found. Yet Jesus who, even if you ignore the miracles, should have been an important spiritual leader wasn't mentioned.
