The best part, in my opinion, is the extra ending in Mark. This was the original ending, which is an absolute banger:

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, β€˜He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'"

Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

This is in later versions, likely because someone copying the text found the ending to be insufficient:

When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.

Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

But remember, kids: the bible is all true and infallible and the word of god and whatever other crap they tell you.

Criticism aside, I'm a hardcore atheist and reading about the history of early christianity (first ~300 years) was absolutely fascinating and I'd recommend checking out the subject to others who oppose organized religion. Bart Ehrman would be a good starting point, though can you go down quite a rabbit hole beyond his writing. This might be a good jumping off point: How Jesus Became God

is there a story over why Jeusus's body was entombed with a big rock? Was the big rock put there by people who loved Jesus or Zombie panicked haters of Jesus?

I think there were cases of grave robbery going on, and if I recall correctly, He was buried with some expensive perfume or something.

I'd think, there were fears that the Christians would steal the body and fake that Jesus came back from the dead

Better title for that book would be How Jesus became do onto others with full righteousness of being the chosen people. The common matter declaration by Constantine (not even the pope) at Nicea, became Moses's whoever doesn't support the emperor's wars is a heretic to be put to death. P.S. Santa Claus was a dick.
