I get where you are coming from, but there is some evidence of a "Jesus" in that rough time period, but who is to say that person was no different than the countless "Jesus" from Spanish counties.
This is more a question of historical fact about how common it was to entomb someone in a burial site with a stone rolled into place than it is a question of the factual nature of the story of "Jesus".
They should've asked without the religious implication.
The only religious implication is that Jesus is mentioned, which is important to the question, as that story is the source of the example.
"How common was it to entomb someone with a rolled stone doorway 2,000 years ago in the middle east?" Just dances around not mentioning Jesus for no other reason than protecting the feelings of people who are too sensitive about a story that they reject as having any sort of truth.
Be an adult. We can discuss aspects of Homer's Odyssey, the story of Jesus, the tale of the resurrection of Osiris who was put back together by Isis but she had to make him a gold dick since his was eaten by a fish like adults.
