Is historical knowledge among the masses that weak ?

The size and thickness of the veil makes so much more momentous the events described as occurring at the exact moment of Jesus’ death upon a cross nearly 2000 years ago. “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. And behold, the veil of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom...” (Matthew 27:50-51a)

I don't quite understand your question but I will try to clear up some misconceptions about the curtain.
At Matt 27:51 it says that the curtain of the sanctuary was rent on two.
This was just before Jesus died.
Well what was so important about that curtain and why was it written down for us?
The curtain surrounded the most holy of the temple. Only the high priest was aloud in the Most Holy. Any other person who tried to enter was instantly killed by Jehovah God..
The high priest represented Jesus, the curtain represented Jesus flesh and the Most Holy represented the Heavens where Jesus was going to be raised up to. That's what the sacrificial Lamb that was being sacrificed for all those years meant. That there would finally be that last lamb of God to be sacrificed.
By the curtain being rent in two also showed that Gods spirit and favor was no longer with the Jews. And a new covenant was now made between Jesus and ALL of mankind. It also showed that the old Law covenant was no longer in force and now was done a way with. Because now anyone could approach the most Holy and nothing would happen to them.
Unfortunately the Scribes, Phrase's, Chief Priest and Sadducee's repaired the curtain making everyone think nothing happened and kept on making the people observe the old Law covenant even unto today in order to keep their high ranking positions and the ten percent of the peoples money, fields, flocks and what ever else they could get out of the poor.This also kept the Roman Govenor happy as he also got some of the moneys collected.
If you would like more in formation on this I would be happy to send you some free.
Sincereely yours,

Matthew chapter 27 verse 46-53 describes Jesus dying on
the cross. as soon as Jesus dyed there was a earthquake
and the veil was torn into. this was done by Gods own hand
letting the world know that His son was the ultimate sacrifice
for all mankind sins!!

But what did the tearing of the veil mean? See:

The Temple itself was destroyed in 70AD as told in the bible by Jesus to the Apostles. The veil was not the temple. God was behind the veil and only the elect priest could have access to God

The temple veil was torn on the afternoon of the Crucifixcion--Is your Biblical illiteracy that deep?

the bible says so... Luke 23:45
given that it would have been repaired or a new one made, there should be other record on this, but i guess the records were conveniently destroyed in 70ce

Yep. As someone has already said - the Bible says it. And I have no reason to disbelieve what the Bible says.
