The Garden Tomb in Jerusalem is considered by some to be the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus.

It was first put forward as Jesus' tomb by Major-General Charles George Gordon CB, who spent time in Palestine in 1882-83. However, Gordon had no academic education in history or anthropology.

The site of the Garden Tomb is outside Jerusalem's Old City Walls, quite near the Damascus Gate. It is also close to the side of a rocky escarpment (just behind the Arab bus station), which resembles the face of a skull (thus fitting a possible interpretation of "Golgotha"), that is near the site Gordon identified as Calvary.

The traditional site of the Jesus' tomb is where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre now stands. In his Life of Constantine , Eusebius of Caesarea states that where the then contemporary Church of the Holy Sepulchre sat was the site the early Christian community in Jerusalem venerated as Calvary. The ancient claim also follows the precedent set by the Roman Emperor Constantine, whose mother, Helena of Constantinople, found a cave containing artifacts claimed to be from the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, including three nails and the True Cross, at the site of which Eusebius later spoke.

Gordon's claim is contradicted by modern scholarship, which supports the traditional site, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. To quote the Israeli scholar Dan Bahat, former City Archaeologist of Jerusalem:

Gordon did find some ancient graves at the Garden Tomb, but recent scholarship suggests that they are not from the right period.

    Groove Garden in the news

    The environmental ethic that society finds itself in today, is a misguided one. It is politically driven and based round the concept of the 'balance of nature'. It assumes that the natural environment is some kind of perfect 'garden of eden' that has been pushed out of sink, by humanities progress.

    For the first time in a long time I spent some time this month in England, visiting my children and my mother. Most of the time I was in Kent, the so called Garden of England.
