Anytime anyone reads something in the bible and thinks "why hasn't anyone realised this before" they should stop. Someone probably has thought it before, and if it's not out there as a common idea it's because lots of people have already pointed out the flaw.
There are still fresh insights to be had from Scripture as God, through scholarship etc, allows fresh light to be thrown on it. But they aren't going to be in the "bleedin' obvious" category.

the government knows about these volcanic eruptions but suppresses the information to prevent panic. the last one caused the fall of the roman empire
I would not accept that as a reasonable summary of the reformation, but even if it were we are not at that point. We are not at the point where the Church we have access to has enforced one set of thinking to the exclusion of all others and surpressed all disagreement that could throw fresh light. We have had a few centuries of reformation - the obvious stuff has long since been dealt with.I am Baptist. I am the fruit of Luther saying that the common idea for too many centuries was wrong. Same as me, and opposite to your position are almost all christians of the world, commencing with the east orthodoxes, the aglican, and all the protestants churches.
here is something interesting that i found
Luke 23 Interlinear Bible
it says the sabbath "was beginning" but when i look up "beginning" it says 'to dawn'.
in other words the sabbath was about to dawn.
mark 15 says that 'when evening (late) was come"
but when I look at the interlinear it says
"evening having already come"
I am starting to wonder if there might not be something to this.there was also a total eclipse on june 14 of 29 but that would be too late in the year for passover.
(unless they had a very long winter)
a long winter could be due to a volcanic eruption similar to
Extreme weather events of 535–536
if the sun was dark that year that could lead to confusion over the 'darkness from 6th to 9th hour'.
people would naturally assume it was referring to the sun being dark when it was actually a lunar eclipse.

this would also have parallels with
The Exodus Decoded - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minoan eruption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 3rd/4th century Roman historian Lactantius states that
Jesus was crucified on a particular day in 29 AD
Another fact to be considered is Luke's statement that John the Baptist's ministry
began in the fifteenth year of the reign of emperor Tiberius (Luke 3:1-2).
Tiberius' reign began after Augustus' death on 19 August 14 AD,
placing John's appearance in 28 or 29 AD
(counting August 14 AD to August 15 AD as the first year).
June 14 of 29 AD was a tue and its julian day #1731815
apr 25 of 31 AD was a Wed and its julian day #1732495

Goinheix you seem convinced that I am engaged in an argument with you.
You couldnt be more wrong.
In fact I have you on my ignore list.
I have had you on my ignore list for 6 months
I am posting these things because others might find them useful
Wow. I cant believe this never occurred to me before.
john 19:14 says Pilate sat in the place called the pavement at the 6th hour. Thats noon.
Then Jesus was led away to be crucified.
According to Mark Jesus was crucified at the 3rd hour. Thats 3pm.
(He cant have been crucified before he was led away)
There was darkness from the 6th to the 9th hour.
The 6th hour that he was on the cross would be 9pm.
The 9th hour that he was on the cross would be 12midnight.
(Midnight is the hour the angel of death passed throughout Epypt).
Apr 35 of the year 31 had a partial lunar eclipse lasting from 20:00 to 00:30.
(well after sunset)
there was also a total eclipse on june 14 of 29 but that would be too late in the year for passover.
(unless they had a very long winter)
