hell philo of alexandria was a jewish scholar who wrote at length about pontius pilates rule over judea in 40 AD. this is 4 years after pontius pilate left office. how many mentions of jesus? zero.

There were accounts of Pilate, of course, not least the accounts in the Gospels.
But the records of his administration had disappeared completely: no papyri, no rolls, no tablets, no (authentic) letters to Rome. The Roman ruins that remained in Israel seemed to have nothing to do with him. Even his aqueduct - a project that got him into plenty of trouble at the time - appeared to have crumbled away.
Why isn't there more evidence, @
uh-oh?
If you can't provide proof he existed, I can only assume - by your own logic in this thread - that he, like historic Jesus in your opinion, didn't exist.
