Mary’s tomb is in Turkey near where the Apostle John lived. You can visit it to this day. The Assumption of Mary is a fairly late Roman idea.

Mary’s tomb in Turkey is very much empty, and the Assumption/Dormition of Mary isn’t of “Roman” or western origin at all.

It’s a very common claim on FR Religion Forum threads, that Mary has no grave, with such claims coming from believers in the bodily assumption of Mary. You should chime in sometime, it’s bound to be interesting, lol.
