Can either side offer any proof, other than 2000yr old testimony?

What would persuade you - if it existed?

Truth is truth rather 1 hour old or 2000yrs.

Can you offer any proof - besides 2000yr+ old testimony - that:
* Hammurabi compiled a systematic code of law;
* A real man named Socrates inspired generations of Greek thinkers;
* Plato wrote a book named "The Republic" which expressed his dualistic philosophy;
* A young general known as Alexander conquered vast portions of the known world;
* Emporor Caligula grew into a cruel and demented individual;

If the historical record is not enough to prove this fact, then the entire breadth of history is meaningless drivel.

Tacitus. Josephus. Pliny the Younger. Scipio. The Jewish Mishnah. One other name that will drive me nuts until it occurs to me, or I get home to my materials.

If you believe that Julius Ceaser was assasinated in the Roman Senate March 15, 44 B.C. on three sources, it is intellectually dishonest to doubt Jesus' resurrection on 6 ancient exo Biblical references.
