You know, the true nature of Jesus is something I've never really tried to get to the bottom of. Two things: the evidence is somewhat murky, and so many people have their ideas about Jesus set in stone. When there's clear evidence regarding other related topics such as we have been discussing that people have such a hard time processing, there didn't seem much sense trying to pin down who Jesus was.
But with the question being raised, if we think in terms of attempting to explain evidence, off the top of my head there are several areas related to him that are seldom discussed and would point towards who he really was:
The dates is his birth and death, as discussed in "Tsar of the Slavs" would cement the idea that he was a real person. Anyone adhering to the idea that he was a fictional character would have to think all that evidence was mere coincidence.
There's the strange fact that demons possessing people in the New Testament recognized him. Again, this speaks against the text being some made up nonsense. Who would make that up? Longer story, but demons seem to be the discarnate spirits of Nephilim, and Nephilim in turn seem to be the offspring of Anunnaki and human women. So we get tied back in to the idea that Jesus was connected in some fashion to the Anunnaki.
There the famous passage where Jesus says he is "not of this world". Well, someone who is in some way alien would say that, wouldn't he? More to the point is this: when Jesus says he is from "above", he uses the Greek word "ano". This is nearly identical with the Sumerian word "anu". This was a synonym for "heaven" but came originally from An or Anu, who was the king of the Sumerian gods. We're tied in again very closely to the Anunnaki (<- see the use of "Anu" again, since that term means "those who from the heavens came to Earth"?)
We also find events such as the Transfiguration of Jesus. If someone thinks Jesus was just a man, or Jesus was God, or Jesus did not exist, then this is simply baffling. If you start with the idea that Jesus had some relation to this race of powerful aliens, then maybe there's a way we can make sense of this incident (although I as yet do not know what that is).
So as far as mainstream views of any stripe, I guess you would say that I do not hold that he was man, or god, or fictional. Interestingly, if you hold with the view that "They" sometimes reveal their knowledge in popular media, you may be interested in this video:
It is revealed that the powerful aliens took a human, educated him to be a "savior" or teacher of some type, and sent him back to the human race. The humans punished and killed this educator. Well... sound familiar?
Recall that in the New Testament, Jesus disappeared for 18 years, between the ages of 12 and 30, before he began his ministry. If someone was going to make up the New Testament for any reason imaginable, why would they leave this out? Maybe it's because there was a real Jesus and he was.., not around.
Intriguing stuff, isn't it? However high my opinion of myself is, I tell you I could not possibly begin to make all this up.
No, I've never heard of a single piece of evidence that's turned up.
You'll hear people speculate--and speculation is all it is--that Jesus was being trained in this or that or several schools of various types, everything from the Essenes to the Hindus to the Egyptian mysteries. TBH, that sounds about right to me, but then again for all I know he was taken up in a flying saucer and educated by the Anunnaki on a space station. You never want to let speculation cut you off from discovering the truth.
On the flip side, and I think these are very important points, all those long crucial missing years speak strongly to two things:
(1) That the New Testament was not made up out of nothing. Why would anyone make up a story with the whole middle of it missing? And anyone that claims the NT is fake never brings up their own explanation for this.
(2) Those years really were important and have been purposely hidden from us. The NT has all this carefully chronicled information about his childhood, then all this carefully chronicled information about his final three years. You'd think someone would have written a short book saying, "Then this guy just took off one day with sandals and a backpack, off to the south is all anyone knows, and then he never even wrote home." Nope, it's exactly like someone just cut the pages of the middle chapters out of a book.

Very interesting.
Are there any writings about what went on from 18-30?
No, I've never heard of a single piece of evidence that's turned up.

Maybe they're in the Vatican archives!
