The Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem has been a place of pilgrimage for believers from all over the world for many centuries. But it is possible that this is not at all the place where Jesus Christ is buried. Five kilometers from the shrine, there is an interesting tomb, which is of value to archaeologists …
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is located in the Christian quarter of Old Jerusalem. It has been his resting place since at least the 4th century. Historians estimate that Jesus was crucified between about 30 and 33 AD. His life is literally known to all representatives of Christianity. However, there is something that can dispute the well-known life of the son of the Lord.
An interesting tomb was discovered in East Jerusalem in 1980. It is known in the scientific world as the Talpiot tomb. It contained chests with inscriptions, or ossuaries, which were covered with religious drawings. The study of this burial was carried out by director James Cameron, who shot a documentary on this topic.
He claimed that Jesus and his family members were buried here after their natural death and there was no resurrection. This assumption is, of course, contested by historians and Christians around the world. it is certain that the remains of a man, a woman and their son were buried in these ossuaries.
Scientist Arie Shimron from Israel was investigating this case. For over 35 years he worked with this find and did about 150 studies. the inscriptions on the Talpiot tomb read "Yeshua, son of Joseph", "Judah, son of Yeshua" and "Mariamna." In total, 10 walled up boxes with remains were found there. Analyzes of the contents revealed that the tomb was flooded around 365 AD.

Of course, there is no precise evidence that this tomb belongs to Jesus of Nazareth. Any analysis is disputed by theologians, archaeologists and historians, because the Christian religion is based on this. If you take into account the Talpiot find, then the whole theory will collapse.
What do you think? Could Talpiot's grave be the resting place of Jesus and his family?
