Sorry, but it was widely reported that there were artifacts from Nazareth found from the time of Jesus a couple of years ago. It was on line and in the papers.I read several accounts of it. I can't persoonally vouch for it since I wasn't there and I am not an archaeologist and I assume that is true of you also, but I am assuming the story wasn't pulled out of thin air.Even if there are no artifacts from a tiny village during a short time frame, that is a far cry from proving it doesn't exist.The 'Nazareth never existed' theory is at best speculation and hardly a fact as some people here seem to think.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazareth..Here is a link that discusses it. It seems that the Israeli Antiquites organization disagrees with you
