——>Who knows what it looked like 2000 years ago?
Probably even more distinct AS A SKULL, which it still certainly resembles.
——>Rocks erode over time.
All of the stones used to build Jerusalem...walls, temple, etc... were quarried behind the Golgotha site (you can see the quarry opening in the picture. Many of those remain and can still be seen today, relatively intact. Look at the pyramids of Egypt. They’re still around even after being built some 2000 years before Christ.
——>The traditional explanation for “Place of the Skull” is that it’s where Adam was buried.
Traditional “Catholic” explanation?
How could anyone know where Adam was buried, especially after the carnage of the flood, after it destroyed the earth? Not a chance.
Golgotha was outside the front gates of the city
It was a place for public executions
Christ was beaten at the Roman Patreon in Jerusalem. That’s also where Pilot lived. Christ was then made to walk with His cross right outside the front gate to where he would be executed, at Golgotha.
The traditional “Catholic” site is nowhere near the front gate or the Patreon. It’s ridiculous to think that Christ would have walked that far with his cross, after the beating He took by the Roman soldiers.
Public executions at Golgotha included stoning. When Ron Wyatt excavated the Golgotha site, he found many of finger bones of those victims who died trying to protect themselves by shielding the rocks with their hands. Some of their fingers were ripped off. Their dead bodies were taken away to be buried or burned, but some of them remained....fingers.
Ron also found the cross holes.
Is it a coincidence that Golgotha is the highest point on Mount Moriah, and probably the exact place where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac, which was the type for Christ’s sacrifice? The Catholic site has none of this.

...The Cave of Machpela has an ancient history dating back to the earliest man and woman in the Bible.
Adam and Eve are said to be buried in the cave, the first of four couples to be buried there.
The Cave of Machpela and the field around it were Abraham’s first acquisition in the Land that God promised to him and his descendants...
