"On the night of his death on the cross Peter’s followers BURIED his body. As in the case of Jesus on the hill of Calvary it was wrapped in linen and secretly taken to a PAGAN BURIAL GROUND on the Via Cornelia, behind the stone structure of the arena. This PAGAN CEMETERY lay on a knoll called VATICANUS: the Latin word ‘vatis’ means a ‘prophet’ or ‘SOOTHSAYER’. In days gone by there had been an Etruscan oracle on this spot" [p. 368].
Why would Peter be buried in a pagan cemetery? Didn't the Jews in Rome at that time have their own cemeteries, and Peter was Jewish.
And the cemetery on Vatican Hill appears to have been reserved for holy pagan prophets and soothsayers. How would he have qualified for burial there?

Where can I find more about that?
Never heard all this nonsense before. LOL!
But wait -- most of Rome was in the grips of pagans at that time. Your statement just might make sense.
So since you have one history source, when did the people of God retake the city?
I'll see if I can find others.
