In the story of Jesus' death and resurrection, he is buried in a tomb that has a stone door, which is "rolled away" after the third day. Would this have been the normal interment of a crucified corpse (self.askhistorians)

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.
