Non-Christian Historical Sources: writings by non-Christian sources from the time of Jesus to provide independent confirmation of his existence….like:Tacitus, a Roman historian, who in his Annals (written around 116 AD) mentions the execution of "Christus" (Jesus) under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. 

Josephus, a Jewish historian, who in Antiquities of the Jews at about 93-94 AD makes two references to Jesus. One is a more disputed passage (the Testimonium Flavianum), but it still provides evidence of Jesus' existence, his role as a teacher, and his crucifixion. 

Pliny the Younger, a Roman governor, who in a letter to Emperor Trajan around 112 AD mentions early Christians worshiping Christ as a god and gathering regularly for worship.These references from non-Christian authors confirm the existence of Jesus and suggest that he was known for his teachings and crucifixion. 

The Pilate Inscription: In 1961, archaeologists uncovered a stone inscription in Caesarea Maritima that mentions Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ordered Jesus’ crucifixion. This find supports the biblical account of Pilate's role in Jesus’ trial.

The James Ossuary: A first-century bone box inscribed with "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" was discovered in 2002. While its authenticity has been debated, it could provide indirect evidence of Jesus’ historical existence, especially if it refers to the biblical James, the brother of Jesus.

Early Christian Writings: Early Christian writers such as Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp—who were contemporaries or immediate followers of the apostles—wrote about Jesus as a real person who had lived, died, and risen from the dead. These writings, which are part of the early Christian tradition, serve as additional evidence that Jesus was a historical figure.
