Default did jesus exist?

Ive been pondering it for a couple weeks now. Ive heard some reports saying he was a follower of john the baptist who's charisma eventually did away with john's religion (I forget, at the moment, what it was) - on the other hand, Ive heard paul or later missionaries conjured the jesus figure up as a symbolism, to teach the masses about the religion of the day.

Default Historically

There is very little evidence that jesus did exist.

There is more history of the babylonians,sumerians,and mesopotamians than there is of jesus.

Such as artifacts,writings and buildings of previous civilizations.

Show me proof that jesus existed other than the bible and josephus.

You will have to look very hard because there is very little and maybe you could tell me where the tree jesus was crucified on is.

Trees live for thousands of years.

Maybe you could show me where the garden of eden is where the cherub with the flaming sword is also.It is in iraq somewhere and saddam never found it.

If you want to see proof of the above civilizations you could go to any museum in the middle east and see the relics.

I am pretty sure if there was any proof of jesus they would have kept it because it is a part of their history,jesus is a prophet of the koran.

The muslims would have kept the proof of jesus in their museums.

There is no proof of jesus and the egyptians of today have no proof of the exodus either.The egyptians were meticulous record keepers.
