There Was No Nazareth
Despite a century of archaeological excavation, there was no sign of the historical town of Nazareth,
Jesus’s alleged hometown.
Biblical Archaeology 
Nazareth was not founded until long after Jesus died. In other words, the myth of Jesus was set in the imaginary
town of Nazareth just like the myth of Superman was set in the imaginary city of Metropolis. The
story of Jesus was never intended to be taken literally! Jesus is a teaching figure, similar to Nasrudin,
who similarly took shape from a set of sayings. For details, see
