There is an appalling lack of historical evidence backing the Bible's veracity

1. Code of Hammurabi ~1760BCE
2. Code of Ur-Nammu ~2000BCE
3. Code of Lipit Ishtar ~1875BCE
4. Laws of Eshnunna ~1900BCE
   

That basically covers things like what various middle/near-eastern people understood as far as law and 'human rights'. Other happenings might be gleaned from letters, government records, etc - but I've just finished reading about early Middle Eastern laws/codes so I thought I'd chime in with that.Edited by Modulous, : No reason given.

It has to be extra-biblical, that is not from the Bible. The contention is that some people believe there is as much historical evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ as there is for Julius Caesar or similar comparisons, the Original Post states that such evidence is lacking.It was claimed that Julius Caesar was descended from Venus (The Julia gens claimed descendency from Aeneas; who, according the Aeneid, was the son of Venus). What evidence would you accept for this assertion? That's the kind of thing we're looking for, only for Biblical events and characters. Hopefully, that should help.
