Except that contrary to modern depiction, He would have been crucified not at the top, but much lower to the ground - so people could walk by and spit directly on His feet as they mocked Him.
Known as Skull Hill, it sits steps away from the Garden Tomb. Both are outside the city walls, and along a main road - close to the Damascus gate. Historical evidence also proves that people were stoned nearby, and just steps away a grave was found with a man's body... that had a Roman nail in his arm (proving crucifixions happened there).
The land has changed a lot over the centuries, due to earthquakes. I saw a picture of it in the 1800s, where the skull was so obvious. But even today it is evident: you can see the 2 "eyes" above the buses.
Just another bus station.... the place where the world -and everything else- changed forever. #israel #apictureadayofIsrael
