What the Holy Sepulchre Was Like 2,000 Years Ago – Inside the Tomb of Jesus

In this biblical documentary, we explore in detail the real tomb of Jesus Christ, long before the construction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Discover what the place where Jesus was buried after the crucifixion actually looked like, how Jewish burials were carried out in the first century, who Joseph of Arimathea was, what the interior structure of the rock-hewn tomb looked like, and what archaeological evidence has been found at the site. You will learn how Jewish tombs functioned in the time of Jesus, the significance of the arcosolium, the burial cloth, the stone that sealed the tomb, the Roman seal, and the guard stationed to watch over it. We also examine the archaeological discoveries made at the Holy Sepulchre, including excavations conducted beneath the present-day Church of the Holy Sepulchre, uncovering evidence that dates back to the period of the Gospels. This documentary brings together biblical history, archaeology, historical context, first-century Jewish culture, and the accounts of Jesus' resurrection to answer one of the most fascinating questions in history: what did the tomb where Jesus was laid really look like?
