Roman and Jewish writers who were alive during the time that Jesus is said to have lived do not mention him? Contemporary historical accounts record lots of other messiah figures but somehow manage to miss the one who Christian texts claim posed such a huge threat to the powers that be that the Roman leaders had to crucify him. The first historic record of Jesus doesn't come till AD 93 — more than a half century after the date given for Jesus' crucifixion — and that account, allegedly by Josephus, is widely disputed, as is another oft-cited mention of Jesus in 120 by Tacitus.

For those who are reading this and believe Jesus was a real person or a man-God, please do your research on both sides before coming to an incorrect conclusion. It does no good to read the Bible and go to Bible classes if you want to know the true non-history of Jesus. You will find that Paul, the first writer of Jesus, did so many years after Jesus was supposedly time on earth (90 AD) and even thought he wrote over 80,000 words, the only thing he mentions about Jesus was the Crucifixion, the Resurrection and the Assent ion. All the dozens of Bible stories were added later! This does not make any sense, as Paul, who was closest in time to Jesus, should have known about the many other Jesus miracles and other stories. Rent the movie "The God That Wasn't There" to learn how Jesus was a mythical figure turned in to a Man-God many years after his fabled life described by the church. I admit this was a very smart thing to do by the church, as all the other gods that were worshipped before Jesus were all supernatural deitys and not a real human as they say Jesus was.
The more you read and study the Bible, the more you can see there are too many contradictions to call this divinely created.
Here are several sites to find out more about the non-history of Jesus

Gods before Jesus were just like Jesus-
from youtube “Truth about Religion”
Suppose I told you there was a GOD TEMPLATE (or HERO template) before Jesus' time, and most of the major Gods all had the same characteristics of Jesus? Why is this? If Jesus was so unique why DID all the Gods before him seem so similar? The answer is that for any God to be supernatural, there are some things that would be obvious to anyone wishing to make-up a God - Immortality, miracles and being born a virgin are common myths.
The Egyptian god Horus was a god around 3000bc.
He was born on Dec 25. He was born a virgin
There was a star in the East. He was visited by 3 kings
He was a teacher at 12. Baptized at 30
Has 12 disciples. He performed miracles
He was known as the Lamb of god, the light, the truth, the good Sheppard
He was crucified and rose after 3 days
In Greece, about 120bc the god Attis
Born of a virgin on Dec 25
Rose after 3 days after being crucified
Krishna, India 900bc
Born of a virgin with a star in the East
Performed miracles
Was resurrected after his death
Dionysus - Greece 500bc
Born of a virgin. Born on Dec 25
Performed miracles
Was known as the ‘king of kings’
Was resurrected after his death
Mithra – Persia 1200bc
Born of a virgin. Born on Dec 25
Has 12 disciples
Worshipped on Sundays
Performed miracles
Was known as the ‘king of kings’, and the ‘alpha and omega’
Was resurrected after his death
The reason all these god share the same story is simple astrology
The bright star in the East is called Sirius followed by the three stars – the three kings
From the northern hemisphere, the sun goes south during the fall and seems to ‘die’ or stop going south for three days Dec 22,23,24 before returning to its northward journey.
The number 12 comes from the months of the year and the cross of the zodiac - a cross with a circle around it.
Nearly all of the most important things in the bible were taken from gods much older than the Bible – Crucifixion, The ark of the covenant, The great flood, Miracles, Baptism, Final Judgment, Virgin birth, Circumcision, Easter, Christmas and many many more,.
See the youtube mentioned above as you will learn the truth about how religion follows astrology. there are many books on this subject including several by the author Acharya, S.
