The Romans didn't play -- when they killed you, they did it right. So, the whipping etc. would have half-killed this guy, followed by dragging a heavy log around would have exhausted him nearly to death, finally he gets nailed and hung by his hands, cutting off his breath...

Except no one else recorded it, Cronos. ten thousand people "saw" the Sun falling towards the earth in Fatima in 1917...

the Greeks at that time, like the Romans were already sceptical of their gods and they already knew of many stories of folks rising from the dead even earlier deity myths

The Greeks were actively seeking mystery religions to replace their skepticism.

They could have said "Show me your proof

Why do you think the Jews rejected Christian claims? Don;t you think Jesus would have saved everyone the trouble if he had appeared before the skeptical Sanhedrin and Pilate? Think of all the blood and guts and horrors he would have prevented that followed if he convinced his enemies that he was God. Or do you think God "enjoys" when people kill each other over him?

And if even the skeptical Sanhedrin and/or Pilate had recorded something like that happening you wouldn't believe it either, now, would you.

Cordially,
