People will argue that the NT (full of errors) is a collection of eyewitness accounts, but if we are going to start accepting books of mythology as evidence for anything, then we also should say that Gilgamesh and Hercules existed too.
As I recall, only 1 of the 2 Josephus mentions of 'the Christ' is a known, Christian interpolation.
