Don't know, but I heard there was no Nazareth in those times. Also the term Nazarene didn't mean someone from Nazareth, but a member of a sect. Please clarify, if possible.

I believe Josephus never mentioned a Nazereth, but mentioned both larger and smaller cities. I think that is the basis for the Nazereth enigma. That is just from memory, but good search term is "Josephus' History of the Jews" + "Nazereth"

Standard archaelogy: "It doesn't exist unless I have physical evidence." This one is pretty silly, actually. This position is an academic oddity because it is pretty much always proven wrong.

Are you thinking of Nazirite? As in Samson? Judges 13:4-5
Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean, because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

Well, I don't know. The Gospels were written within the lifetimes of people who were there, and they mention Nazareth -- are you suggesting that they simply made up the name?
