I mean that's kinda the point
In that case there are tons of historical figures that should be assumed to have not existed. If we had such high standards we would have to erase most of our ancient history as rumor.
A lot of historical figures get mentioned by contemporary writing of that period- the more important that person is the more information can generally be found. Yet Jesus who, even if you ignore the miracles, should have been an important spiritual leader wasn't mentioned.
You really think that after 2000 years that would have survived? How long do you think papyrus lasts? And where would they have stored? The middle east is well known to be geopolitically stable
I mean this is all supporting my point
