I've heard here and there of an existing person who is a historical jesus whose remains were discovered some years ago and there had been some stink raised about it. The religious folks claiming it was a hoax because he was supposed to have ascended into heaven upon his death and not leaving any earthly remains. He had been buried with his sibling(s), wife, and children (all at varying times, of course) with reference to parents named Joseph and Mary.
I'm not 100% sure of any of it being true (it's been a long time since this had been on television), but I can easily believe of a historical jewish carpenter's son named Jesus Christ who may have even been persecuted by the Romans for his faith. It's the bible's account of his life I would doubt - much in the same way as if someone wrote a document fifty years after my death accounting for my life where I could levitate, shoot lightning from my eyes, and I apparently claim to be the illegitimate son of Xenu and Hades.
Come to think of it, if that story could somehow involve riding a tamed cybernetic velociraptor from the future, I think that might be awesome.
