    Well, IF the writers wrote their stories in and about Jerusalem shortly
after the life of Jesus (assuming him to be real for the moment), then yes no
contemporary readers would have taken them very seriously.

    Since the stories WERE at some point obviously taken seriously, then if
there was no Nazareth nor any Arimathea, then that argue that the stories were
neither local nor close in time to the events.

    N'est ce pa?

¡Salud!
