Revealed…the tomb that Jesus Christ had placed: The strength of science for the history of Jesus!!!!!

Restoration workers who were plying their trade on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem stumbled upon the rock surface which Jesus was apparently rested upon.

The slab has not been seen since 1555 when it was enclosed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which contains the Tomb of Christ.

Christians claim following his crucifixion, Jesus was laid on the slab, or “burial bed” and enclosed in a tomb before being resurrected and ascending to Heaven several days later.

Centuries later, followers of Christ took the slab to what is now the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where it has remained hidden since 1555.

However, renovation on the building, which last took place between 1808 and 1810 following a fire at the site, has helped archaeologists rediscover the slab that Christ was said to have been laid to rest on.

The project is currently subject to a documentary from National Geographic, with their resident archaeologist, Fredrik Hiebert, stating: “The marble covering of the tomb has been pulled back, and we were surprised by the amount of fill material beneath it.

“It will be a long scientific analysis, but we will finally be able to see the original rock surface on which, according to tradition, the body of Christ was laid.”

The unveiling of Christ’s burial slab is giving researchers an opportunity to analyse what is considered one of the most sacred artefacts in Christianity.

Studying the tomb will also help scientists gain a better understanding of the original form the tomb took and how it has evolved over the centuries.

National Technical University of Athens’ Chief Scientific Supervisor Professor, Antonia Moropoulou, said: “We are at the critical moment for rehabilitating the Edicule. 

The techniques we’re using to document this unique monument will enable the world to study our findings as if they themselves were in the tomb of Christ.”

Rennovators were brought in to work on the Tomb of Christ earlier this year as experts feared that it was on the brink of collapsing.

The walls of the 1,600-year old chapel are covered in a thousand-plus years worth of soot as Christians travel there to light incense burners and candles in honour of Jesus Christ.

It is now undergoing a $4.5 million (£3.4million) emergency restoration project.
