A machine translation of the Tang Yi rebuttal to mythicism:
The "Nazarene" in the "Basilica Scrolls
Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, historians have made great strides in the study of the history of Palestine before and after the 1st century AD. Historians have gained a deeper and clearer understanding of the troubled Aethinians and have found striking similarities between them and the early Zoroastrian community.
In the 4th century Epiphanes (c. 315-403) mentioned that there was a Jewish sect called Nazarenes in Syria and Balkanistan from the 4th century BC until the 4th century AD. They used the same scriptures as the Essenes and also taught about the salvation of the Messiah and the imminent coming of the end of the world, and that the Nazarenes were probably an offshoot of the Essenes.
In the early part of the 2nd century, some Jewish texts refer to Jesus of Nazareth as a migrant who was active in the area of Judea and Galilee, and who was so numerous and growing so fast that the Jewish leaders were deeply disturbed and regarded them as heretics.
But Jesus of Nazareth was a real figure in history, an "Umbrella Man" who opposed the corrupt life of the Jewish priestly aristocracy,
He became a member of a small sect of Judaism, the Parshallites. >His disciples, out of pious faith, became propagandistically attracted to the Messiah if the Jewish prophets had defined him as a miraculous figure and gradually made him an object of worship - the Yahweh.
