4. No there wasn't...Yes there was

Claims that Tacitus wrote a record of it have been demonstrated to have been forged.

That said, Yishua was the most common name amongst males in the region at the time, and hundreds of messiahs were crucified byt the Romans. It stands to reason the the Yshua ben Yusef of the New Testament is an amalgem of many of those crucified.
