Most historians I've read agree that a person named Yeshua (Jesus) very likely existed about 2000 years ago and was crucified at a fairly young age by the Romans.
Pontius Pilate has been verified as being real (archeologists recently found inscriptions in Isreal bearing his name.)
The works of Josephus mention Jesus, but there are arguments as to whether the references are original or are post document insertions.
