Jesus was mentioned in the Works of Josephus, a historian of the time. Whether you believe Jesus is God or not is up to you, but he very much was here and was recorded by non-christians alike as being so.
Josephus was born after or maybe a year before Jesus had died.

"Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, written around 93–94 AD, includes two references to the biblical Jesus Christ in Books 18 and 20 and a reference to John the Baptist in Book 18.[3][4]"
You don't find it strange that he only thought to mention such a historical figure 60 years after the man had died?
Say, how do you think Jesus looked?

I have the Works of Josephus and I'm aware. For me it's the same as having a Civil War historian today. Were they alive to fight in the war? No, there are civil war buffs and historians who have an accurate assessment of the Civil War because we aren't that far removed from it in history. Josephus was much closer in years to the time Jesus was on earth than any Civil War historian is to the Civil War today. I'm okay that Josephus wasn't one of Jesus' disciples, in fact, I think it adds to his credit much more that he wasn't.
