Really? What physical evidence is there?
Let's try this:
a) you want a mother, son, and holy ghost? Check out Isis, Osiris,
and Horus.
b) AFAIK, crucifiction was reserved for one crime: treason against
Rome.
Marvin Harris, in "Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches", notes that that
was not the punishment for thieves, either, and suggests that the
two others crucified at the same day were rather zealots (aka
Jewish
terrorists fighting Rome), and that Yeshua bin Miryam was, also,
as a leader of the zealots.
Now, given how anal Romans were about record-keeping, you'd
think that there would be *some* court records or military records
about the crucifiction of a zealot leader.... Got any references?
