Pontius Pilate, the governor of Israel, is a well-documented historical person. He definitely existed and we know this because he was an oppressive tyrant who forced the people of Judea to build gaudy buildings for him whose ruins stand to this day.

And even though there is no archaeological evidence for the biblical Jesus, there must have been a historical person who founded the christian sect that split off from Judaism.
