I see.
There was a 40-or-so-year gap in between the time Jesus would have lived and died and the time the Gospel of Mark would have been written. It's actually not that implausible.
I think it becomes more implausible when we take into account Mark was a potless, illiterate fisherman without the means to travel to Egypt. No matter how we track the story all roads lead back to Acts Ripping Yarns.
Camp fire tales.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
