It has been a contention for years that the New Testament account of Jesus burial and hence, His resurrection could not be accurate. There are many reasons that skeptics list as “evidence” that this prominent narrative in the New Testament is simply not reliable but one argument that has been consistently espoused is that a man condemned and crucified for essentially being an enemy of the state, would not have been given a proper Jewish burial.
That argument has been “left in the dust”, so to speak (please excuse a little Biblical Archaeology humor there), by the 1968 discovery of the remains of a crucifixion victim from approximately the time of Jesus. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/crucifixion/a-tomb-in-jerusalem-reveals-the-history-of-crucifixion-and-roman-crucifixion-methods/
