No-one knows where the sepulchre belonging to Joseph of Arimathea was. In the fourth century, Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, claimed to have found exactly the right place and had a magnificent church, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built there. The location seems most unlikely for that of a wealthy and influential man, and Helena's choice was more likely guided by the opportunity of destroying an important pagan temple that just happened to have been built on the place she nominated.
