I have heard Christians come up with all sorts of reasons for why the veil was rent. I even came up with my own speculation.

However, there was no need to speculate. Levi told us why.

THE TESTAMENT OF LEVI

CHAPTER 10
1 Now, therefore, observe whatso-
ever I command you, children; for
whatsoever things I have heard from
my fathers rl have declared unto
you.

2 And behold, I am clear from your
ungodliness and transgression,
which ye shall commit in the end of
the ages against the Saviour of the
world, Christ, acting godlessly, de-
ceiving Israel, and stirring up
against it great evils from the Lord.

3 And ye shall deal lawlessly to-
gether with Israel, so He shall not
bear with Jerusalem because of your
wickedness; but the veil of the
temple shall be rent, so as not to
cover your shame.


4 And ye shall be scattered as cap-
tives among the Gentiles, and shall
be for a reproach and for a curse
there.

5 For the house which the Lord
shall choose shall be called Jerus-
alem, as is contained in the book of
Enoch the righteous.

the veil was rent as a symbol that there was no longer a separation between man and God

The detail of prophecy of the astounding; and the earliwst copies that we now have date to the second half of the third century B.C.. This is about the same age of the oldest copies that we have on any Biblical manuscript, and dates to the time when YHWH's true priests were expelled form the Temple.

Dr. Rachel Elior goes into great detail on this subject.

The physical evidence refutes this article.

http://www.qumran.fr/images/PDF/DeJonge_1988.pdf

This scripture was found at Betharaba, the dwelling place of the Zadok Priesthood, after they were expelled form the Temple. The Zadokites were charged by YHWH to teach and preserve his word.
OK I have no expertise on this, my question would be why you feel that it is a reliable source of information since it is not part of the accepted works contained in the Bible.

It's not accepted in the Pharisee Canon; but they don't seem to accept books that talk too much about Messiah. You would be hard pressed to find Pharisees that would even read Isaiah 53 in their synagogues.

The Bible is unbiblical.

Most of Christianity subscribes to the Pharisee Canon. Before there was a Pharisee Canon; there was no Canon. There were the scrolls. Each scroll was treated as a separate scripture.

Again the Zadokites were charged by YHWH to teach and preserve his word. We found this scroll in their library, at Betharaba. the place where John the Baptist practices his ministry, and where Yahshua launched his.

I won't have the Pharisees tell me not to read the words that the Zadokites preserved.

The Zadokites would seem to disagree with you.
all Scripture has been reviewed and only those books that passed scrutiny were included in the Bible, it would be unwise to depend on those writings that were not included in the canons of scripture.

Again, I don't subscribe to the Pharisee Canon. I'll go with who YHWH charged to preserve his word, over the Pharisees.

Astounding detail in this prophecy, no?

(CLV) Hb 10:20
by a recently slain and living way which He dedicates for us, through the curtain, that is, His flesh,

It's an allegory.
Yes and it is saying that man and God are no longer separated because we have been reconciled through the death of Jesus who is now our High Priest we therefore have direct access to a relationship with God.
