um...wow...I'm all for a historical Jesus, but that's some pretty shady science there Thagrastay.
Anyways, regarding documentation, it has to be kept in mind that the large majority of any documentation that there even was no longer exists for Roman and most other ancient civilizations. A great example is music. We have less than a dozen songs from ancient Greek civilization and not one of them is complete. Now, one could, I suppose, use this to try and claim that since we have no proof that there were any other songs besides these few we have, that there were no other songs in Greek civilization. Obviously that's not true. Likewise, most records of Roman civilization are no doubt long lost, not to mention that it stands to obvious reason that they were not concerned with the same things in their records as we are 2000 years later. Furthermore is the fact that, most likely, Jesus was illiterate and, thus, did not write anything himself.
