I assume you refer to Caesar. Your statement would be true for any historical figure. However Caesar did write a book or two.

If you are referring to the Gospels, the oldest dates to about 70 AD and the other three somewhat after that. It was probably written down as a record of the oral history told by the Apostles and other wittnesses to the Crucifixion. I think 1000 years is exagerating quite a bit.
