I didn't ask for other secondary sources. I asked for other sources than the Bible. If passing mentions by historians is all you can come up with....

Wikipedia has proven itself to be a very valuable reference tool. Are there erroneous entries? Sure. But they are the exception, not the rule. You don't like the source? Fine. Find me a non-religous source that shows the Wikipedia articles to be wrong.
