2 JERUSALEM, Garden Tomb,
Gordon's Calvary
גן הקבר
direction: from Nablus Road turning to Conrad Schick Road.
The shape of the hill resembling a human skull, was identified as the site of Golgotha (the skull) by the British General Charles Gordon in 1883.
The tomb has two chambers, side by side, as in tombs of the 9-7 century BCE. It was not a new tomb in the first century CE. Christians of the 4-6 century did not believe that this was the burial place of Jesus. The Crusaders used it as a stable and the Garden Tomb Association is convinced that this is the Holy Place.
Unfortunately there is no possibility that it is the burial place of Jesus; a beautiful landscaped garden.
