Archeologists discover St. Paul's tomb. (CN) According to Vatican archeologists, a sarcophagus in St. Paul Outside the Walls basilica in Rome could contain the remains of St. Paul.
Giorgio Filippi an archeologist from the Vatican Museums doesn't doubt that the site is the burial place of Paul, as it was a place of pilgrimage for many, including emperors, who believed Paul was buried there. WorldNetDaily reports "Filippi said church officials must now decide whether to order further excavation to make the sarcophagus more visible." The sarcophagus was found under the church's main altar. Beneath that altar a 4th century marble plaque reading "Apostle Paul, martyr" could be seen.
