First of all there is ZERO evidence to your claim.
FORTY YEARS pass prior to Mark - written after the destruction of the Temple, THE key event in Jewish life at that time. There was a 10% literacy rate in Palestine. And Newsflash, that wasn't in the rural poor population to which Jesus preached. So these "eye witnesses" if they lived to be 50 would have been 10 at the time of the events.
NO ONE KNOWS who wrote the Gospels. Scholars do know they were not written locally. Again, the eye witness idea is off the table. The rural poor did not read nor is likely they knew any readers. AND the idea that Mark (writers of Matthew and Luke are off the table) not like to find their way to the Levant at the time.
"All available date from similar first-century populations (including China and India) shows an average life expectancy of somewhere between 22 and 28 years; this is supported by remaining Egyptian.
ALL STORIES in pre-literate times among the pre-literate were part of the oral tradition.
