If you look at list of most Important figures of all time. Many are back in history and most are pre-photography, formal birth certificates or DNA etc. So should we say all of them dont exist as people.

Did Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Plato, Julius Ceasar even exist. [b]IF we are saying people of a certain period back in history did not exist[/b] it is a bit of a wild statement.

Joan of Arc, King Arthur, Genghis Khan why not wipe them out. Heck why not go more modern was there a Vincent van Gogh. Pretty much we only heard of him after he was dead, while he was alive he was not famous. Maybe that was a scam. [/quote]

Literally no one is saying that, and you are an idiot.  Seriously.  Are you the OP?  Because you should be fired from your job for being a moron.

There are no contemporary accounts of Jesus.  None.  Every documentary mention of him is from after he is supposed to have died.  There is no non-documentary evidence of Jesus.  Most scholars think that Jesus was a real person, but almost NOTHING is known about his actual life.   We know that Vincent Van Gogh existed--he might not have been famous during his lifetime, but there is a lot of evidence of his life.  He wrote hundreds of letters, there are public records of his birth and death and family, there are photos of him, there are records of his education and employment, etc.  We know that Julius Caesar existed--he was very well-known when he was alive, he wrote his own memoirs, and he was mentioned and written about by his contemporaries, including Sallust and Cicero.

Ironically, King Arthur is more debatable.  Scholars *don't* agree on whether he really existed.  If he did, very little is known about him, and the King Arthur of Camelot legend is almost certainly an invention.

When I was in Glastonbury, England, they made it pretty clear that King Arthur was a legend and that his supposed grave there that had been dug up was a hoax.  Still, there is a marker where his grave supposedly was.  It's a tourist attraction.[/quote]
