But the documented record of Christ’s empty tomb was written during a time very close to the actual event.

This is the test of historicity. Not how long ago it occurred.

If the history was written within a few years, or a few decades, the historicity is considered accurate.

"the historicity is considered accurate."

Consider what you will. I'm really not argumentative enough to engage you.

Would you say that the 'resurrection' is kingpin of your faith in the Christian religion ?
