A recently finished study by an Israeli geologist has significantly increased the chances that an ancient tomb located on the outskirts of Jerusalem was the final resting place of Jesus Christ and his family members. The new findings by Aryeh Shimron made use of a chemical fingerprint to link a bone box, or ossuary, inscribed with the words ‘James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus’ to a tomb that is located inside a rose garden amidst several ordinary apartments at a Jerusalem suburb called Talpiot.
