10. There are many writings & artifacts regarding Jesus; for example the Gospel of Judas.

National Geographic put together a cover story & TV series on some of the lost and/or discarded manuscripts that shed
light on who Jesus actually was. Much of the manuscripts were authenticated. But the catholic church and Papacy threw out
many documents in order to "cut & paste" a story that fit their agenda in order to maintain a powerful religious oligarchy.
This was completely opposed to the core message of Jesus, like the oligarchy/1% of today. Yet the religious fundamentalists seem to support the antithesis of Jesus' teachings. There is none so blind as those who refuse to see!
Besides the Gospel of Judas there are many other writings regarding Jesus and the apostles. Some have been authenticated, some are still in the process. Yet the catholic church will not admit any new data of course--no matter how absolutely sure archeologists are in validating it.
