Well, historians of the time only wrote about the great heroic deeds of Rulers, Lords, Military Commanders, War Heros, and other "important" persons. Jesus was just another "unimportant" and "irrelevant" commoner (if he lived at all, and some people think he didn't) whose occupation was as a Carpenter but had began teaching as a Rabbi. Why would anyone waste expensive parchment, papyrus, or stone to write about someone that was nothing but an insignificant and boring ordinary common laborer that talked a lot?

As to records of the crucifixion... why bother when it was just one of many thousands the Roman officials ordered every year to keep the commoners terrorized into "behaving" (and in times of unrest several thousand might be ordered in a single month). No records of any significance were kept on crucifixions.

As to records of later events, these only involved commoners and they kept only an oral history until long after the eye witnesses were all dead and the events could no longer be directly confirmed.

Is it true that Jesus prayed only eight times according to Luke?

However many times Luke records Jesus as having prayed, he most certainly does not state that Jesus only prayed eight times. Not every event and detail of Jesus life was recorded by each of the Gospel writers nor even the whole by all of them put together. John states plainly that much was left out of his Gospel, even though he had much the others did not have. Luke records 'in order' a series of events and teachings in Jesus' life. He records a number of times that Jesus did various things, including pray. Nowhere does he claim to record every prayer Jesus ever made. Nor does he record every miracle either.
