There's no problem here. We have a case of a crucifixion victim who
received proper burial. Therefore the hypothesis that the Gospels could
not be accurate because they indicate that Jesus received a proper
burial is clearly disproven. Or did some divine spirit tell you that
Jesus didn't recieve proper burial? You are the guys who always want
archaeological evidence! Now that you have some you'd rather hold onto
your cherished misconception. Don't you have enough other "theories"
that you can afford to give up just one?
