First Century Burial
It is always helpful to find places and things intact in a way that allows a better understanding of scripture. First century burial sites can provide helpful insight into how Yeshua (Jesus) would have been buried, i.e. the type of tomb into which his body would have been laid and how those visiting the tomb after the resurrection would have viewed the tomb area.
Not far from Jerusalem is an example of the first century burial tomb of a wealthy person. It was carved into the rock which was common, it had slot tombs, which was also common, and it had an entrance area with bench seating for those visiting the graves.
