When Jesus’ Tomb Was Opened For The First Time, Scientists Made A Groundbreaking Discovery

After centuries of decay from water and structural damage, scientists finally began a long overdue renovation of the tomb in October 2016. When they removed a slab of marble for the first time in hundreds and hundreds of years, lying beneath it was a never before-seen discovery.
