Definitely not His body cos the King is alive.
The tomb is located at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and had been sealed with marble since 1555 in a bid to to protect it from pilgrims who kept stealing pieces as holy relics.
Now, for the first time in centuries, the tomb's marble lid has been removed for the first time in five centuries and this miracle was uncovered -
There, unseen for half a millennium, was the limestone shelf where Christ’s body is thought to have been placed.
The researchers also discovered a second grey marble slab no one knew existed, engraved with a cross they believe was carved in the 12th century by the Crusaders.
Archaeologist Fredrik Hiebert of National Geographic, which was a partner in the project, says: “The most amazing thing for me was when we removed the first layer of dust and found a second piece of marble.
“This one was grey, not creamy white like the exterior, and right in the middle of it was a beautifully inscribed cross. We had no idea that was there.
*Wow! Going to Jerusalem will be a very very spiritual thing for me.
