From Daily Mail (tabloid):
At the heart of an ancient church in Jerusalem lies a rock-cut burial chamber that millions believe once held the body of Jesus Christ.
The tomb sits inside a small shrine within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which Christians have revered as the site of Jesus’ crucifixion, burial and resurrection for nearly 1,700 years. Now, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a 20-foot-wide circular marble monument built around the burial chamber, offering new physical evidence of how this particular tomb was singled out and honored in antiquity. Researchers found that the surrounding rock had been deliberately cut away, leaving behind what archaeologist Francesca Romana Stasolla described as ‘the chamber in which tradition recalled the deposition of Christ.’
