On Thursday The Times of Israel published an article on the uncovering of the burial bench of Jesus in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

One of their reporters had gotten into the tomb and there was a unique photo of the gray slab that was below the well-known marble slab—among others.
I went to the same article today (29 October, 2016, 5:00 PM Israel time) and the article had been scrubbed of these unique photos and commentary had been replaced by the National Geographic photos and more generic commentary. It appears that the article had been updated on 28 Oct at 2:16 AM. (I wonder if this was at the National Geographic’s “request?”)
BUT here is the link to the original article. The link was working at the time I posted this blog. See the last three photos near the end of this article.
For more images of this unique structure, prior to renovation see here.
