Yes sure, that resurrection story is about as accurate as the account of the vicious knife & dagger Sicarri sect of assassins of Massada throwing themselves "bravely off cliffs" . Another whipped up story to frenzied mythic proportions, which has been totally negated now with Massada just a tourist destination. Those assholes were raiding & murdering more of their own than the romans, just like we see over in the ME today. ( though still used to foment some brave nationalism among the more stiff necked) The emotions of hatred were preached & very common currency running deep throughout a threatened Jewish society at the time, traditionalists vs moderates. The real truth is many of those Jews just wished to remain neutral. Many had already been Hellenized & moderated from the fundamentalist milieu, spread out up thru Antioch & over to Greek Alexandria for over 300yrs already. (where you're Bible got written, thanks to the Hellenes generosity, love of libraries & chronicling human knowledge )
