Photographs and recordings did not exist in the 1st century. Not even the printing press. And most people were illiterate at the time. So it is far more likely that nothing would be written versus anything being written during that timeframe.

Just like how historical spider-man existed, but the comic version didn’t, right?
Don’t do religion, kids.
You’re just another brain dead mythicist. Might as well claim all historical figures are comic book characters.
Do all historical figures posess superpowers?
