What evidence is there Jesus was buried at Golgotha?

Answer 1

A:There is no real evidence as to either when or where Jesus was crucified. It is instructive to note that in his epistles, Paul seems to have been unaware that Jesus had lived and died in Palestine only a few years earlier. In his narrative of his travels, he shows no interest in visiting any the sites associated with the birth, mission or death of Jesus. While the gospels point to the event having taken place in either 30 or 33 CE at Golgotha or Calvary (which are presumably the same place) outside Jerusalem, Paul's epistles must also be given some weight, as must the fact that for the first three centuries, no interest was shown in the actual location.

In the early fourth century, Helena located, to her own complete satisfaction, the very spot where Jesus was crucified and the original location of his tomb, as well as important relics such as the True Cross of Jesus. She also located the original site of the burning bush and many other previously unknown but important biblical sites. With so many improbable finds attributed to just one person, there is reason to doubt their veracity, leaving us with no evidence to back up the gospel account. Helena had a magnificent church built to mark the places where Jesus was supposedly crucified and buried, but this is evidence of nothing except piety.

Answer 2

There is no direct evidence that Jesus was buried at Golgotha. However, according to the New Testament, Golgotha is where Jesus was crucified, and nearby is the Garden Tomb believed by some to be where Jesus was buried and resurrected. Archaelogical findings have also supported the possibility of this location as the site of Jesus' burial.
