Peter Skene Ogden was an animal hunter and fur seller.
St. Peter's bones are believed to be located underneath St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. There is a necropolis beneath the basilica where it is thought that St. Peter's tomb is located, although the exact location of his bones is a matter of faith rather than confirmed by historical evidence.
According to tradition, St. Peter the Apostle was buried in Rome, specifically in a necropolis on Vatican Hill where St. Peter's Basilica now stands. His tomb was discovered in 1940 and confirmed by archaeological investigations in the following years.
The tomb of St. Peter is located below the main altar of the Basilica of St. Peter in Vatican City. The head of St. Peter, along with that of St. Paul, is located in the cathedral church of the pope - St. John Lateran.
Saint Peter is buried under the main altar of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Extensive studies by archeologists over many years have found what appear to be the remains of the saint there. A few months back the bones were presented to Pope Francis.
Actually, the Basilica was built over the tomb of Saint Peter, not the reverse. Perhaps no tomb in history has been more thoroughly excavated and studied than that of the first pope of the Catholic Church. For nearly 2000 years pilgrims have made the trek to the site of Peter's burial in Rome. A number of excavations over the centuries have been inconclusive until Pope Paul VI was able in 1968 to announce that the bones of Peter had finally been identified.
