First, it would be interesting to see just exactly what there was to see. Maybe you'd be disappointed.
Secondly, the same hypothetical could be applied to any religion's cast of characters. If you had been there to witness Thor battle the ice giants, would you still be so sure Jesus/God was the only act in town?
I think you misunderstand the role of Jesus. When he said He is the way, he meant by his transcendent example. It didn't mean come build an institution around the man who was the enemy of organized religion. It didn't mean worship me as you would any other golden calf. It meant realize inside yourself the divine. You and god are one. What is beyond yourself is already within yourself. Seek it there.
Burn your bible and save your soul.
