Except that is not archeological evidence. Tacitus just wrote down what Christians believed.

Ah, another blatant lie by JJoseph. Gospels don't agree on the year Jesus supposedly died. Some gospels claim it was on a year when Passover fell on a Friday – but other say that Jesus died on a Friday the day before Passover. So that can not be the same year. It's all a guessing game.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
