    I see. What culture in particular are you discussing that we have this little evidence for? Also can I ask, if a low bar of evidence was accepted for one thing does that mean a low bar of evidence must be accepted for another?

      1. Off the top of my head: there are entire reigns of of the less famous Kings from the Persian Empire which we have almost nothing from.
      2. Loaded question, but on the whole: yes, assuming you do in fact accept the first body of evidence.
      3. I’m not going to argue with you, because it seems that you’re less self-aware than some fundies that I know, but I did find an interesting video for you to watch while you’re splitting hairs. https://youtu.be/vxuqSg4f7yY?si=bYSgc-NVwVoNQYoa

        1. Maybe don’t go off the top of your head. You said "Look into what kind of “evidence” we have for entire cultures in the ancient world. " now you are talking about kings. Can you move the goalposts back please? I want a list of cultures that have less evidence of existing and are as widely accepted as existing as Jesus.

        2. Well let’s start with some.

        3. Sorry I don’t click random YouTube links. You got an argument you make the argument.
