Oh for sure, a believer will do anything to make it work, and so a work-camp Nazareth will be, portable even, and so no traces to be found.

And damned be him who knows the way it goes.

This is not about opinion.

Its about facts. There is a city called Nazareth, the only thing to debate is when it was first inhabited and why.

It would have been a small village pre 70 CE. With being in close proximity to Sepphoris that factually was detroyed some time around 6-7 ish CE. A work force would have been needed to rebuild it. Theres no reason to think Jewish peasants used in the work force that could not live in this Hellenized "Jewel of Galilee" would have had to live close by.

Why were Roman authors claiming "no good could come from this place" why were there negative remarks being made?

Factually the area is not researchable due to the current buildings locations.

It does not matter to me, but I like my Nazareth better. It matches the Gospels and Bethlehem as well. I love Judaism as the greatest mythology that ever was. Very beautiful and esoteric.
