The tomb of Jesus I am familiar with is an assuming excavated space in the side of a limestone hill with a round mill stone to the side, the stone which was put in place to signify his burial and the same which Jesus moved aside after conquering death.
That tomb is inside the ancient walls. Thus, could not be the real tomb. It's a beautiful place, where endless prayers sanctify it, but it is not THE tomb.
Queen Helena had her people on the ground first and they found many of the Holy sites. The Roman church came afterward and since it shares the Holy Sepulcher space, it's prima facia evidence there was agreement amongst the early researchers.
Huh? What did I just watch? A fire comes out of the tomb of Jesus Christ each year?

What ever this tourist attraction is, well...
It’s the church built around the tomb of Christ many, many centuries ago.

It’s THE tomb. And it’s authenticated by this annual miracle. The fire doesn’t burn you for the first approximately 30 minutes.
I thought I was responding to the post saying the Garden Tomb was the real one, which it couldn't be.
