No, he doesn't.  He has a claim - contained in a single absurd old book - which is not evidence of anything except the author being a shithead or a con man.

There are more similar stories from this time period, such as the Teacher of Righteousness, hinting that maybe there's some truth to the underlying story...
Although, the story of the underdog that goes through a transformation and becomes the main man is common enough in fiction and resonates well enough with the common folk to have been through several reincarnations, in writing, in theater, in cinema, on tv... hinting at a fictitious origin to any such story.
