Titolo: Apriranno la tomba di Gesù

(February 16, 1999 12:23 a.m. EST) - The opening of Jesus' tomb in Jerusalem
may be imminent, and if Christendom is not enthralled by the prospect, it is
little wonder. The whole point of the Christian faith is that the tomb is
empty. As the angel announced, "He is not here; he has risen."
Still, there is expectancy that the tomb will reveal artwork or other signs
of veneration by the earliest believers in Christ's resurrection. No one has
laid eyes on the tomb for nearly two centuries, and the dawn of the third
Christian millennium seems to be a fitting time to rediscover the site.
The tomb is believed to rest within an edicule (or "little house") within
Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The surrounding shrine is an
ornate 19th century construction in danger of collapse. It was damaged by
fire in 1808 and further weakened by an earthquake in 1927, after which a
makeshift framework of steel girders was erected to prop it up.
The reason the grave has gone so long unopened is because competing church
authorities with rights over the sepulcher have seldom agreed on anything.
But they did authorize a new dome in 1996 and now plan extensive internal
renovations.
Martin Biddle, a 62-year-old Oxford professor of medieval archaeology,
predicts the next step will be to bring down and rebuild the edicule,
exposing the tomb. Biddle and his wife have spent a decade surveying the
site, using ancient sources and modern photogrammetry. They are convinced
that beneath four internal coverings is the burial place excavated by the
Emperor Constantine in 325.
"Originally the tomb was burrowed into a rocky hill slope," Biddle recently
told Stuart Wavell of the Sunday Times of London. "Constantine cut away all
the rock except a plug containing the rock-cut tomb. It was that plug which
he embellished with marble decoration, and the remains of which are inside
the edicule."
Constantine's shrine survived for 600 years before its destruction in 1009.
Since then, there have been three further constructions enclosing the tomb.
"Once the outer skin is off," Biddle predicts, "I think that will leave a
kind of jagged tooth, which will be the wreck of the previous edicule. Then,
poking out of that will be the remains of the original rock-cut tomb, about
five feet high. It will probably include a shelf sticking out from a rock
wall."
The tomb appears to have been accessible to believers for a century
following the crucifixion, until Hadrian had it covered with rubble to erect
a pagan temple in 135. Then, about 30 years before Constantine's excavation,
the scholar Eusebius located Golgotha, the place of Jesus' crucifixion,
leading the emperor's engineers to discover the gravesite.
Biddle does not believe the tomb will tell us anything we do not already
know about Jesus. "I believe Jesus was a historical figure who is very
well-evidenced," he says. "Not many people have four different, almost
contemporary biographies that survive."

Si decidano quale tomba di Gesů, visto che ne hanno scoperte un tot
;-)
E quella che stava su nel Kashmir, accanto alla tomba di Mosé? Quando
la aprono? ;-)

"La massima cultura accessibile all'intelligenza umana non sara',
se essa rifiuta a se stessa ogni risorsa che le proviene dalla sua
coscienza spirituale superiore, che un procedere preparatorio,
in confronto a cio' che potrebbe diventare se, con le facolta'
sufficientemente sviluppate, potesse entrare coscientemente in
relazione col piano o con gli aspetti iperfisici della Natura".
William Scott/Elliot, "Storia dell'Atlantide"


C'č chi addirittura sostiene che la tomba di Gesů si trovi in Giappone!!!
Nel villaggio di Shinigo (Herai):
In 1935, Kiyomaro Takeuchi discovered 1900 year old document stored in
Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, containing evidence, that Jesus (Joshua) born in
Bethlehem to virgin Mary is buried in Herai Village in Aomori district of
Japan.  Per maggiori informazioni vedere il sito

Altri invece sostengono che sia sepolto a Mahikari (sempre in Giappone),
