Interesting that we are talking about Jesus and none mentionned:
Yeshu ben Pantera
That is in my opinion, his real name and history.
A healer from the panthera lineage. ...

I agree that my research suggest this was certainly his correct name. (Christ or Messiah was the title given by all the Jews at that time to any leader of a Jewish sect. Thus the early Church Fathers refer to the person we know as John the Baptist as "John Christ". It wasn't until the fifth century that Tertullian initiated the practice of calling only one individual "Christ".)
Does anybody also happen to be aware that the Emperor Tiberius was normally known as "Tiberius Pantera"? The link you provide in your post describes how Pantera's tomb describes him as an archer. However, it is also well known that before he died the Emperor Tiberius (who was, then, apparently Yeshua's father) insisted that his tomb should bear that humble inscription.
And there wasn't such a thing as a "panthera lienage"! In Latin, panthera means "the promiscuous", which that Emperor certainly was. The Romans often used a person's nickname as their surname. On the other hand, it seems unlikely how Jeshua could have acquired such expert practical knowledge regarding advanced healing techniques had he not studied at the mystery schools in Alexandria during his childhood, and Alexandria happened to be where Tiberius (and before him, Augustus) had his summer palace, which is also where he would have based his children.
