There is much confusion as to the identity of "the Buddha," the main figure of the Eastern religion of Buddhism.

The Josephus Forgery about Jesus

The Jesus Forgery: Josephus Untangled

An oldie but goodie of mine...

For centuries a brief paragraph in "Antiquities of the Jews" by the Jewish historian Josephus (37-100 CE) has been cited as proof of the existence of Jesus Christ. Is it really? Or is it a forgery?
