Reply #17: That's not exactly correct.

Jesus is mentioned by Flavius Josephus, in passing. Now, historians do think thinks parts that talk about Jesus were been added to. And yet, most historians believe that it was not all additions. Flavious Josephus himself wrote this:

"About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, for he was a performer of wonderful deeds, a teacher of such men as are happy to accept the truth. He won over many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. When Pilate, at the suggestion of the leading men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those who had loved him at the first did not forsake him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct to this day."
Antiquities, Book 18, 63-64.

Now most historians agree that Josephus wrote this passage.

Then there is Cornelius Tacticus who also wrote a line or two about Jesus (in answering where Christians got their name from.) However, it is not clear whether this was a later Christian addition or actually writing by Tacticus. When I say its not clear, I mean its not clear. Neither side had been able to prove anything. So this one is worth mentioning but not as clear as the Josephus one is.
