Mary's Tomb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary's Tomb is a tomb in the Kidron Valley near Jerusalem attributed to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It is located at the foot of Mount of Olives near the Church of All Nations.
A small church was built at the location in the 5th century, and rebuilt in the 11th century by the Crusaders.
[edit] "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" Controversy
A documentary film produced by James Cameron and Simcha Jacobovici, The Lost Tomb of Jesus, and a book written by Jacobovici, The Jesus Family Tomb, theorize that the Talpiot Tomb, found in 1980 was the burial place of Mary , as well as Jesus and several other biblical figures from the New Testament. This claim is disputed by archaeologists and theologians, as well as language and biblical scholars.
