The traditional and most widely accepted location of Jesus' tomb is inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. The site, specifically within the Edicule shrine, has been venerated since the 4th century as the place of Jesus' burial and resurrection.
While it's impossible to provide a definitive answer to this question, there are a number of reasons for thinking that Constantine and Helena were correct in their assessment that the site of the present-day Church of the Holy Sepulchre is indeed the location of Christ's burial and Resurrection.
The Edicule in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre is traditionally believed to be the site of Jesus' tomb. A $4 million restoration project, led by a Greek team, has cleaned and reinforced the structure.
The artifact was kept safe in the Holy Land until the time of the Second Crusade when King of Jerusalem Baldwin III gave it to his brother-in-law, Count of Flanders Diederik van de Elzas.

Historian James Dunn writes: "Today nearly all historians, whether Christians or not, accept that Jesus existed". In a 2011 review of the state of modern scholarship, Ehrman wrote: "He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees."
Jesus's body was 100% human; but he was also omniscient and omnipotent because he was 100% God placed into a 100% human body. Human with the caveat that he was God incarnate.

In the year 629 A.D., the Cross was recovered and brought back to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius of Constantinople. The relic of the True Cross was then restored to its place in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The stolen body hypothesis posits that the body of Jesus Christ was stolen from his burial place. It theorises that his tomb was found empty not because he was resurrected, but because the body had been hidden somewhere else by the apostles or unknown persons.

James DG Dunn writes that the majority of scholars of the Bible believe that the evidence shows that the Resurrection of Jesus is historical. Dale Allison argues for an empty tomb that was later followed by visions of Jesus by the Apostles and Mary Magdalene, while also accepting the historicity of the resurrection.

What does the Bible say about being visited by the dead?
