I thought Jesus was an amalgamation of a number of other people or prophets/magicians of the day, predominantly Apollonius of Tyana and Yeshua Malathiel. In any case, a lot of the story of Jesus seems to be almost exactly the same as the story of Buddha, and indeed the numerology was carefully preserved if you compare the texts. This makes me doubt if there was an actual Jesus Christ as we know it, but what is described is the Christ Consciousness and path to enlightenment. The Christian/Jesus fable seems to have been perpetuated following the Council of Nicea in 325. I would say the Manicheans and cult of Mani were more significant in the centuries prior to this.
