Archaeology Under Jerusalem’s Holy Sepulchre Aligns With John’s Garden Tomb
New excavations beneath Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre uncovered seeds, pollen, and a funerary landscape dating to the site’s shift from quarry use to Roman-era burial, aligning with John 19:41’s description of a garden tomb and offering archaeological support for the Gospel of John, according to researchers including Francesca Stasolla and Douglas Estes.
