There are no historical writings or records from primary or contemporary witnesses in the first half of the first century that mention the Jesus of christianity. Philo of Alexandria is the best know historian that lived during the time of the alleged jesus. Yet not once does he ever mention anyone close to jesus. He never even mentions the town of Nazareth which is alleged to be where jesus is from. Not one historian prior to the 3rd century ever mentions a historical town of nazareth. The town didnt exist in historical record until the 3rd century. So how could jesus be born in a city that didnt exist? Josephus never even mentions it.
