Maybe that's the point Emma was making.
An ordinary guy called Jesus who came from Nazareth, who was the basis for a religious doctrine, even if that doctrine was created after the man died.
There is evidence of the leader Artos who King Arthur was based on. Also there was a very interesting BBC doumentary recently, examining the historical background to Robin Hood. There was a man from Loxley who had his lands stolen by Prince John. He became a rebel and later had his lands restored by King Richard. There was also a Little John.
Most legends are based on some element of truth.

I watched Religilous last night. Very funny movie.
One of the best bits was the visit to the Creation Theme Park/Museum. They've got some very nice plastic dinosaurs, and they depict T-Rex's living alongside homo-saphiens.
They reckon this was about 12,000 years ago.
The nutters even put a fucking SADDLE on a TRICERATOPS.
WTF???????

No, nothing like that outside the Bible and some spurious additions to Josephus's history.

My googling reveals there is no evidence*.
Thanks for the advice
*Other than the probability there were ordinary people called Jesus who lived in Nazareth.
