Well the tablet mentioned on top is authentic though there are some disagrements to the translation, in one line Gabriel says in 3 days, and then a word that is one letter short of being read as live if the translation is in 3 days live then we would have a noter resurrected messias on our hands about 4 years before Christ was borne.
And yes there are very few if any outside sources for the exsistance of Jesus, one would think that a guy who raises the dead, heals the sick, feeds the masses whit 2 fish and a loaf of bread would be written about by most literate people of that time but no.
And something else that is probably wrong too in the bible the way Poncipilat treats Jesus, a few years after Jesus he ran out of wood to make crosses so i doubt he would take time to talk to a inferrior to romans Jew and just said well crucifie him.
And the cross curches use is also probably wrong, if he had to carry anything it would be the horisontal plank of the cross, and that horisontal plank would be put on a slot at the top of the cross so no beem sticking out where the in-ri inscription lies.
The way he is depicted nailed to the cross is also probably wrong, the nails trough the palm would probably not hold him and the romans knew that so trough the wrist is more probable. And a leg found that was crucified indicate that the nails would go trough the side of the heel probably on the sides of the cross. This point is ideal because it misses all the major blood vessals and hits a nerve center inflicting lots of pain and that is what the romans wanted to scare all other "criminals", people naild to the cross in lots of pain as a deterant from crime.
