For Venus
On the other hand, Hadrian seems to have built the tomb – which was dedicated to the goddess Venus – with the express purpose of concealing Jesus’ grave. And, according to ancient historian Eusebius, Constantine later ordered the destruction of the Roman temple, which resulted in the discovery of Jesus’ tomb. All of this appears to be consistent with what was discovered during the grave’s excavation in 2016.

Authenticity Of The Tomb
Biddle also believes there may yet be further evidence that proves the authenticity of the tomb of Jesus. Specifically, he told National Geographic that there could be ancient graffiti on the stonework that may be vital in confirming that he was buried there. And he added, “I don’t myself think Eusebius got it wrong – he was a very good scholar – so there probably is evidence if only it is looked for.”
