If that were true then this thread would be full of people providing citations to that excellent documentation, but you will notice a complete absence of that here.
The closest we’ve come in this thread is the Wikipedia page with citations to several historians saying “yeah we mostly think he was probably real based on it would be weird if he wasn’t”
That is a waaaay lower level of certainty than you’re presenting here.

If you discount Christians showing you something on account of the fact they’re Christian, then obviously you’re not going to get anywhere, and you have really bad scholastic practice. Nothing else to say to that.
