There were scads of such Jewish preachers as I understand it. For example, Monty Python's Life of Brian was particularly great for being both a humor film, but also a surprisingly accurate one, in which such preachers were depicted.

I understand "Jesus" was indeed based on at least one person ("Yshua ben Yosef" perhaps), but my point is-- I don't see any reason (as with most other figures in legend and mythology) why it couldn't have been based on more than a single person. Because even the best evidence we have upon all this is little more than retold stories, edited and curated by people several centuries later.

Jesus might as well be a ghost.
