There is nothing in the Roman or Jewish records of the period. Nothing.
A curiosity, please.
If the gospel stories are true
should there be contemporary corroboration outside biblical writings?
Are there records of other contemporary Roman crucifixions in the Judea?
Was Pilot known to have crucified others without leaving a record?
I understand Herod's scribes recorded most everything happening in the palace including grocery orders, visitors and meetings. Does the biblical meeting between Herod and Jesus appear in those records?
I do not believe it does. Why not? Is it
likely this meeting could have been missed?
Are there other known occurrences where Herod's records are incomplete?
Would the scribes at the temple have recorded Jesus' actions/teachings/outbursts?
Are there temple records of other such events not involving Jesus?
Are there any Roman, Judean, Royal, administrative records that coulda, shoulda, woulda recorded such events at the time?
Is it plausible that there could be no civil (and to be absurd about it, the contemporary equivalent to tax forms, contracts, records of sale, the "flogging" logs of the Romans, Temple visitation records, anything) records at all recording/attesting to the presence of Jesus, the disciples, their lodging, their heroic entrance into Jerusalem, presence in other cities, outside the biblical record?
Is there anyone familiar enough with Roman and Judean society of the time to shed light on the types of records that were recorded?
Is there a plausible explanation why such records (if any) would not have evidence of the biblical events other than the "it didn't happen" one?
