Who’s Buried in Jesus’s Tomb?
Archeologists discovered a tomb, and inside they found coffins, one of which bearing the name Jeshua—also translated as “Jesus.”
So yes, they have found Jesus’s tomb. Whether the body belongs to the carpenter from Nazareth or to some other Jesus, we don’t know. It was a popular name back in the day, so who knows. Were that Google could only search that far back.
There’s penchant for greater comedy here, but I’m afraid someone else already stole the better jokes. But I will say this—if this really were something that could “shake up the Christian world as one of the most significant archeological finds in history,” I don’t think it would have been relegated to the Discovery Channel.
