Post Question on Biblical characters and their validity (Is there proof?)

I'm an avid reader and I've come across the Jesus myth as others may have. I have even read that there is no evidence of Jesus or his lineage of David, Solomon, and others such as Moses. I could quote where I read this before if anyone's interested. I've read how ancient civilizations don't have Noah's great flood recorded, so I was wondering if the existence of said characters can be corroborated from any historical documents that have been discovered. I will read other sources when I'm looking for more anthropological sources, and key Biblical figures are used...thus assumed to exist. I've read that key historians during Jesus' time make no reference of such a man, which is a damaging claim to me. I am looking for a few older scholars/historians to review their works. I've heard of Manetho?(I think) Herodutus and Josephus. Any input on these and others is appreciated. I was wondering is there any validity to the claim that there is no support (other than Biblical and religious texts) to account for historically revered characters such as Moses, King David and Solomon along with Jesus (Yeshua). I haven't begun to scratch the surface on my personal endeavor for the truth, but I appreciate all input. We seem to have records of his apostles, but this is a strong claim that I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on. Thanks a lot
