Pinky.
I never thought about your HISTORICITY.
You mean................Virtually all New Testament scholars and Near East historians, applying the standard criteria of historical investigation, find that the historicity of Jesus is effectively certain...........
or.................The Christ myth theory is the proposition that Jesus never existed, or that if he did, he had virtually nothing to do with the founding of Christianity and the accounts in the gospels.[111][112][113] This theory has very little support among current scholars.

Gee there is always something to learn Pinky.
Thanks for all your tips mate.
That might be what mainstream scholarship thinks, but even by historical standards they don't have impressive reasons for thinking it. In any case, comparing him to individuals like Caesar (which one?) and Alexander the Great is a pretty thorough demonstration of the fact that you don't understand historicity very well.
You also missed the part where those same scholars consider your gospels to be narratives with little to no truth to them.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
