Basically, what we have is a situation in which real, actual commentators on - and from - the first century, including historians and military campaigners covering the region in question, making mention of places, people and events far less remarkable than any JC stories yet not writing even a syllable about this itinerant rabble-rousing cleric. These are people who not only should have noticed; they would have noticed. And yet they didn't. At this point, any unbiased researcher would be asking why that should be.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
