   So is "Prototype" the way Nectanebo II is described as a   
   historical figure?

   Here are Merriam-Webster's definitions:   
      
   [quoting]   
   "1: An original model on which something is patterned : archetype   
   "2: An individual that exhibits the essential features of a later type   
   "3: A standard or typical example   
   "4: A first full-scale and usually functional form of a new type   
   or design of a construction (such as an airplane)" [end quoting]   
      
   https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prototype   
      
   So, using any of those four definitions -- it's clear   
   that Nectanebo II was prior to Jesus, and (according to   
   you), he was the original model, who exhibited all the   
   essential features of the later model (Jesus), and was   
   a standard or typical example of Jesus prior to Jesus,   
   and was the first full-scale and functional form of   
   the new type (Jesus) before Jesus came to earth.   
      
   So my question remains, why didn't Nectanebo II rise   
   to the level of Jesus if he had all the qualities of   
   Jesus before Jesus ever came to earth?
