An emerging spiritual diaspora in Ancient Israel; What really happened after the historical crucifixion?

There have been several movies to speculate on the nature of Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene. She is venerated as a Saint and may have taken a vow of celibacy at a certain stage of her life.  The continual suggestion is that she came from humble origins and was required to help the family from an early age in potentially risky ways at the request of the family; that is for the family that adopted her. It is said in some historical reports that she was an orphan of part-Assyrian ancestry who arrived in Israel on a Syrian ship around the age of 12. It is not clear when she met Yeshua but in any event, it is said that He was tempted in all things and yet without sin.  His father Joseph may have left in Yeshua's adolescence for fear of the Jews and may have been Joseph of Arimathea who returns at the end of the story to assist in Yeshua's Resurrection with 100's of pounds of various spices. A crucifixion is not  the guillotine for a beheading but was a "sort of" certain method of execution.  Do you have a guillotine?   That would be as inhumane as letting people graduate with someone else's essays over and over again. It is just quantifiably as inhumane as Nazi theft of your chickens and eggs when it is not war time; especially if only the essay thieves are allowed to benefit from the work and earn an income.   It is dehumanizing(use Strunk and White for a proper academic reference if you wish to mention anything on a website or reference a graduate's work. You could say "A 1994 graduate, in his essay entitled "...", has pointed out...").    Now, as we were discussing Christian history and a book written in the 12th century, you could pass out on the cross and could just choose to rest to avoid any internal damage and unnecessary muscle tear.  It does not change the fact that a miracle has occurred or that somebody wanted to kill someone who was known as a prophet and nobody really knows why except it was part of a life purpose that he accepted as confirmed in scriptures concerning the Messiah.  Did you know Joshua son of Nun who worked with Caleb could shoot a good arrow and throw a good spear?    He was from the tribe of Nun.    Anyway, Mary Magdalene worked for the family of Yeshua during his ministry in sincerity but also to have the authority of an heir as suggested by some scholarly research but don't trouble the grave of a 12th century scholar to ask who he thinks he is trying to be.

She may have worshiped in public but resented in private because of the blood on her hands following the resurrection.  After Yeshua survived the resurrection,  she might have cut the throat of the resurrected Lord because, in spite of the miracle of his resurrection, that is what she needed for the authority and it follows for the attention.  She was an orphan.  There are several 12th century books that intimate this account of resurrection and on occasion, this research may appear in a well researched historical drama about the gospels.
