There is historical evidence for Jesus and Buddha--that they were actual people--is there ANY historical evidence of Kwan Yin existing?

Question

I mean did she exist as an historical person, as an actual living human being or is she PURE legend?  The female Buddha. Of course, even the legend of Robin Hood is supposed to be inspired by an actual person, a historical fact so could the legends of her be based on an actual woman?  .

The Goddess Kwan Yin, has it's roots in India and Tibet, and originally this goddess was not female but male, and his original name was "Avalokiteshvara".  Tibetan mythology holds that Avalokiteshvara was the progenitor of the Tibetans and was the first Tibetan sovereign.  Avalokiteshvara is also worshiped in mongolia and some parts of southeast Asia.   In India, This god was the Bodhisattva of compassion.  The Chinese are the only ones who converted this god into a goddess.

There is in fact NO historic evidence for the existence of Christian Jesus. None what so ever. Try again. The Budha is not a god and Buddhism doesn't teach the worship of gods. There is no evidence for the existence of any god. Gods are purely the invention of over-heated imaginations. They are fantasy NOT reality.
