“Jesus’ mother, Mary, died and was buried in Ephesus, a city in modern day Turkey. So it’s not likely that a tomb found in Israel would refer to the same Mary.”

As a Catholic I was taught that Mary, ascended into Heaven. Would that not mean that she was not buried?

One of those differences of opinion between Protestants and Catholics. The good news is, we'll be able to ask her when we get there.

Not every one believes that she was assumed into heaven. Some of us believe her body was buried.
