Has His_Majesty addressed the fact that Justus of Tiberius in Galilee, historian and close friend of Agrippa II, born and writing during the first century, compiled a now lost work entitled A Chronicle of the Kings of the Jews, and that Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople, writing in the 9th Century, stated that "I have read the chronology of Justus of Tiberias ... and being under the Jewish prejudices, as indeed he was himself also a Jew by birth, he makes not one mention of Jesus, of what happened to him, or of the wonderful works that he did"? Not even a mention of any disciples of Jesus? Or how about Irenaeus, early Church Father writing in the second half of the second century who blasted "heretics" who said that Jesus was crucified a young man and instead argued that Jesus died in his forties during the reign of Claudius (c. 41-54)? Strange stuff to be saying (or not saying) about a historical man who supposedly lived just a century earlier whom everybody should have known quite well.
