Just came across this article:
If legitimate, these documents by roman chronicler Paterculus could prove to be the first independent eyewitness account of Jesus' existence and ministry outside the canonic gospels (let alone the miracles, but that's another discussion). What do you think?

It has been critiqued.....but that won't stop believers from getting all giddy.

... World News Daily Report is a fake news site that includes fictional stories such as "Rancher Shoots Down UFO Near Area 51," "15-Ton Prehistoric Shark Captured Off Coast of Pakistan," and "Nessie Sighting Brings Surge of Enthusiasm in Favor of Scottish Independence."
"World News Daily Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within worldnewsdailyreport.com are fiction, and presumably fake news."
The site also carries a disclaimer that clearly states none of its reports are meant to be read as fact:
Well, I'm not excited about the miracle - simply about the [supposed] eyewitness account of an itinerant preacher-healer in Palestine called Iesous de Nazarenus, which travelled with an entourage of disciples. That's the point I'd find more relevant.
Edited: I think AnnOMaly just clarified it. It's a fake piece of news. Thank you.
However, Paterculus was a real person.
But 'professor Perruzzi' is a fabrication - as well as the pictures of the "parchments" (actually are clay tablets). Someone has a cruel sense of humor out there ...

It ranks next to the "London 'Bus found on the Moon" story.
Mind you, once they had found the first 'bus, they then found three more very close by.
