These are assumptions that they are buried there, not facts, like Tut or another ancient figure.

I think if you truly do your research, you will find these are not just assumptions.

The second testement is more real because it is eyewitness accounts of Jesus.

I am sorry, but that doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand the logic behind it. For one thing, the Old Testament contains many eyewitness accounts. By your own logic, then it is true. But I am not here to change your mind, that is not my place. However, nobody can truly understand the Greek scriptures (NT) until the understand the Hebrew scriptures (OT). For all of the New Testament is based on the Old Testament. But since some wish to give more weight to the New Testament, they might wish to consider these passages from the New Testament because they reinforce the importance of the OT:

While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him...And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! "Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?" Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

Jesus said:"...You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life."

Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And according to Paul's custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and giving evidence that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ...The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Therefore many of them believed, along with a number of prominent Greek women and men.

There are several others also, but I won't list them here. If you are interested, I will gladly look them up and post them for you to consider. But somehow, I don't think you are interested.

Don;t mistake me for a Christian Basher.
The thought never crossed my mind. I am sorry that it did yours though.

In Jesus alone,
