 Experts also confirmed the existence of the original limestone cave walls inside the Edicule, the early 19th-century structure within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre that houses the tomb. The burial bed was hewn from the side of a limestone cave following Christ’s crucifixion, according to Christian tradition. Christ’s resurrection from the dead is a core tenet of Christian belief – the gospels say that the tomb was found to be empty by those who visited it a few days after the crucifixion. National Geographic reports that a transparent window has been cut into the Edicule’s interior wall to expose one of the cave walls. “This is the Holy Rock that has been revered for centuries, but only now can actually be seen,” the project’s Chief Scientific Supervisor Professor Antonia Moropoulou told National Geographic.

The historic tomb where he is said to have been ‘rested’ and his body anointed was opened last week for the first time since at least 1555 AD – and scientists were given 60 hours of access before it was resealed. After removing the marble slab that encased the tomb, scientists at the University of Athens and National Geographic were stunned to find a limestone burial shelf intact and a second marble slab with a cross carved into its surface. Researchers were given the unprecedented access as part of restoration work. The team were shocked to find portions of the tomb are still intact today, having survived centuries of damage. The original surface was exposed during the restoration work being done at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem, according to National Geographic. (READ MORE) |
