John 19:41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
Archaeologists under Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre found an abandoned quarry outside the ancient walls that was later filled and divided into small plots for vines, olive trees and grazing, plus multiple rock-cut tombs.
This landscape matches the Gospel of John’s description of a garden containing a new tomb near the crucifixion site. Lead researcher Francesca Romana Stasolla noted the funerary and cultivated features from around the 1st century. It supports the traditional location but does not prove the tomb’s occupant. -Summary by Grok
By the way, the tomb was still empty.

Genesis 8:4 Then in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
In 2026, a full geological and archaeological research project was initiated at the Noah’s Ark formation in the Doğubayazıt District of Ağrı Province, Türkiye. The project is directed by Prof. Dr. Cenker Atila of the Department of Archaeology at Sivas Cumhuriyet University, and is carried out in cooperation with Noah’s Ark Scans.The project has received official approval from the Republic of Türkiye. Under this authorization, a series of geological and archaeological investigations will be conducted at the site in accordance with the approved research plan — a milestone after decades of patient, non-invasive study.
Drogue Stones: Scattered through the villages northwest of the Durupınar site — especially at Arzap — stand a series of enormous carved stones, some more than ten feet tall and weighing several tons. Each has a hole deliberately cut through its upper end. Researchers including Ron Wyatt identified these as drogue stones: heavy drag anchors that, in the ancient world, were trailed behind a vessel on long ropes to steady it in heavy seas and keep its bow turned into the waves. If that interpretation is correct, these would be the drogue stones once tethered to the Ark, cut loose and left near the landing site as the waters receded. Many of the stones are carved with crosses, believed to have been added centuries later by Armenian Christians who venerated them as relics of the Flood. Skeptics offer alternative explanations — that the stones are Armenian memorial markers (khachkars) or repurposed pagan stelae — and their precise age and original purpose remain debated. Either way, the drogue stones are among the most striking features connected to the Durupınar site, and several can be visited today on our guided tours.
