There are a few mentions of some guy names Christus in a few Roman writings like Tacitus. Big Whoop.
And there are loads of scholars (Bart Erhamn is one) who have written about false beliefs about the when the Gospels were written. Check out "Misquoting Jesus." Mathew, Mark , Luke., and John did NOT in fact write their gospels but others many years later.
As far as there being no records of ancient world? Have you ever read Tacitus? Suetonius? Livy? Livy has written almost 137 books of the history of Rome. about 45 survive and I have read every scrap. No mention.
Suetonius mentions that Vespasian healed a man using spit. Hmmmmm. So the xers swiped it? Suetonius also mentions a comet at Augustus's birth heralding the birth of a King, the senators deciding to kill all the male babies, but THEY decide not to because each thought, "Hey could be mine!"
Livy mentions Romulus getting caught up into a wind, ascending into Heaven, being seen three days later walking along a road, and giving a commission to his friends before ascending.
These were common myths. The Bible writers just took themand said it was Jesus. Everyone knew these stories.
Oh,and Paul plagerized Plato: Almost word for word:"We see through a glass darkly." Right out of Phaedrus.
You can't say, "BUT THE BIBLE SAYS."No, Plato, etc. said it first. If you argue from the Bible, it's an errant argument.
So where is Jesus? He is wherever you want him to be because he is no more a real person after all the common myths suddenly attributed to him than Santa Claus resembled St Nicholas.
