There is absolutely no evidence in the contemporaneous historical records of the Roman Empire, the occupying Roman Judean government or the Jewish authorities, that the person called Jesus was a human being who lived, taught and died in Judea, and no proof whatsoever of his existence as a pretend Jewish Messiah who was exterminated by the Roman government of Judea.

The following is a comprehensive list of the world renowned historians who were alive at the time of Jesus or in the century following and it is of conclusive proof that not one of these meticulous recorders and archivists of the history of their times records the alleged history and activities of Jesus, especially when it is observed how closely they have recorded all the minutest details of their times in hundreds of volumes of their writings.

The only vague reference which could be construed as referring to Jesus was made by the Roman historian Tacitus in the second century CE when he quotes hearsay circulating in his own time in a single reference to the alleged crucufixion when discussing the alleged burning (by the Christians) of the city of Rome in the time of Emperor Nero. It is noteworthy that Tacitus does not quote any Roman documents or authorities in support of the anecdote and makes no further reference to Jesus.

Owing to the utter absence of historical data proving the existence of Jesus there was, as modern scholars have agreed, a large-scale forgery of "evidence" in support of his biography and a contamination of the history of his times in the so-called New Testament of the Jewish Bible.
