The written record we have only mentions two eyewitnesses by name. Both of which were saying this guy died. You don’t need a cast conspiracy, only two people to keep a secret. The written record was authored by a person who was there when things were happening but saw nothing and heard nothing until years later.
What is more likely a charismatic leader vanishes from the entire historical record, the one person who writes the events down doesn’t seem to know anything about what happened, and then silence for over 50 years? And when the records do start they just happen to be pulled from other popular myths of the time and place?
