The forty year gap between 'resurrection' and the writing of Mark should have been filled with such religious turbulence it would have made the Antioch Evening News.

Ok, here are your headlines:

Jailings of the 'leaders' of the new jewish cult (Christianity)
Leader of new cult is stoned for blasphemy
Uproar on Pentecost
Religious leaders begin to seek out and arrest leaders and members of this new cult
Cult members die refusing to denounce Jesus

I'll let you look up the details both in the Bible and other historical documents.

The first recorded persecution of Christians by the Romans was in AD 64, or about 30 years after the crucifixion.
