Apollonius Of Tyana The Nazarene

The author is highlighting the historical similarities of Apollonius of Tyana to Jesus of Nazareth. He asserts that while historical records exist for Apollonius, the only historical records for Jesus were of his disciples and in a much later time frame. While a jewish sorcerer existed according to the Talmud he lived about 100 years prior to the biblical record of Jesus of Nazareth. Argument can be drawn that when "Christianity" was patched together by Constantine the powers to be replaced the name and hence the life and deeds of Jesus are fictionalized events borrowed from the life and travels of Apollonius.
