Nazareth is not mentioned. . .

Don't the 17 times it is mentioned in the New Testament count at all?

Josephus mentions 45 cities and villages of Galilee ....yet Nazareth not at all?

Pretty much an argument from silence and cannot thereby eliminate Nazareth from existence.

The rural community where I live is known by four different names, depending on who you talk to or what agency is referring to it. The zip code has it as one, the fire department another, the voter registration lists it by a different municipality name and a sign on a major road uses another. If I use one of them to ship to on the internet when shopping, for example, I get an error sometimes. I only say this to say that place names are anything but a periodic table of elements, nor are any list of them exhaustive.

St Paul knows nothing of 'Nazareth'.

To reference my earlier post in more detail, Acts 26:9 is Paul's testimony before Agrippa in which he calls him, Jesus of Nazareth.

but for the Nazerene it is scant ...

I see that as a matter of opinion.

Egyptian stories of prominent Gods & Goddesses with the those of the Goddess Isis are found to be most prominent at that time from which the Virgin Birth & the template for the "Virgin Mary" was found/taken/incorporated .

It simply does not necessarily follow that something claimed by one culture cannot be unless it was appropriated from an earlier example in a different culture.
