This was Jesus Tomb




Model of a tomb from that time. The new tomb in which Jesus was buried, according to archaeologists, could be of this type.

Archaeological reconstruction of the landscape and location of Calvary outside of Jerusalem. The evangelist John says, "Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid" (John 19:41). To the left of the illustration, several trees are drawn - a garden in Jerusalem is little more than this - and also the entrances to several tombs; one of them could be the one that Joseph of Arimathea offered to Jesus.
