Not a lie at all. The general consensus amongst historians world wide is that Jesus was a real person who died by crucifixion under punctious pilot, the Roman prefect at the time. I remember even when I went to a public high school, Jesus' was mentioned in our World History book as the man who founded Christianity. His existence is just as much a historical fact as Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, and Mohammed. You can deny it all you want I suppose, but that is not what is widely accepted by people who actually study/investigate history.
"Widely accepted" is not evidence. And we have much more evidence of the other names you cited. You sound like you're just repeating what you've been told without actually looking into it.

New Testament scholars, yes. But the general consensus among historians as well, in regards to Jesus, is that He existed and died by crucifixion under Punctius Pilot. I know it isn't all of them, but it is generally accepted among most that at least that much is historical fact.
No, it is not accepted as historical fact.
