The debate over where Jesus Christ was crucified and buried is unlikely to ever come to an end in a way that satisfies all parties, and the general belief is that the site is on the grounds of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
However, new archaeological evidence could back up that claim with clearer evidence than ever before.
A team of researchers from Sapienza University of Rome has discovered remains of a plant, which could be the plant referenced in John 19:14, which dates back to when Jesus died. That is believed to have happened around 33 A.D.
The Gospel of John 19:41 reads: "Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There they laid Jesus."
"The Gospel mentions a green area between the Calvary and the tomb, and we identified these cultivated fields," lead archaeologist, sca Romana Stasolla explained to The Times of Israel.
Other findings connected to Jesus such as tombs on the Holy Sepulchre compound have also caused excitement.
The uncovered tombs in question are made of marble and may be to do with Joseph of Arimathea. He is the biblical figure that Christians believe gifted Jesus his burial plot.
More tests could bring more proof
The crew, led by Stasolla, will carry out more tests on the marble to gather as much information as possible.
"We are conducting geological analysis to the origin of the marble, and we are also testing the mortar," she said. "Both tests can give us important information. We only have a part of the northern aisle left to excavate.
"The real treasure we are revealing is the history of the people who made this site what it is by expressing their faith here.
"Whether someone believes or not in the historicity of the Holy Sepulchre, the fact that generations of people did is objective. The history of this place is the history of Jerusalem, and at least from a certain moment, it is the history of the worship of Jesus Christ."
