    I haven’t dug into this what-so-ever, but how would it even be possible to identify whether a specific person with that name existed 2000 years ago? It’s not like you could just Google the guys Facebook profile or social security number back in 200AD

      That’s the thing. Anyone who knows how history works, knows that it’s extremely hard to prove someone existed that long ago.

      Most things we have to prove if someone existed is if other people talk about them or mention them in their writings.

      Other than the bible, no one really talked about a Jesus existing at that time. Which makes sense, since if a Jesus did exist he would be a nobody.
