When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene,
Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go
to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just
after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each
other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large,
had been rolled away.
Mark 16:1-5
This tomb was
exposed during a road construction on the way to Megiddo in the hills of
Manasseh. It is one of the best examples of a stone covering a burial
cave. This stone is indeed very heavy the weight is estimated at over
1.5 tons.
Location: Emek Yizrael, Israel
