It is still there, behind the Arab Bus Station to the north of the “Old City” in Jerusalem. There was no “hill with three crosses on top”. That is just Vatican-Catholic-Roman fantasy.
Jesus was crucified beside a road, just as the gospel account says — that there were “passers by”. The Romans did just that – crucufied people near roads, so as passers by would be intimidated by the suffering and the torture.
The gospel story says that the Roman soldiers broke the legs of the criminals to Jesus’ right and to His left, so as to hasten their deaths. But it goes on to say that the soldiers only discovered that Jesus was dead, AFTER they had finished with the two thieves/criminals.
It those Roman soldiers walked straight past Jesus’ dead body without knowing that He was dead, they must have been some of the dumbest idiots in the Roman army. But that NEVER HAPPENED.
The reason that the Roman soldiers got to Jesus’ cross last, is that it was up on a higher rock ledge, up above the ledge (in front of the rock face that looks like a skull), where the thieves were. Jesus was the “featured” execution that day. He was crucified on the high rock ledge, where everyone could see him clearly. The two thieves were down lower, closer to the road. Jesus’ cross was just in front of the rock face. That is why there has always been a cross/crucifix against the back wall of Catholic churches for the past 1700 years. They copied the design from the churches built by Joseph of Arimathea.
The steps leading up to the altar in Catholic and Anglican churches are an attempt to recreate the desin of the Golgotha execution site.
Golgotha – Place of The (a?) Skull
The cross holes are still there – buried under the dirt and rubble. The crucufixion happened there, and NOT on a hill where Constantine’s “mum” was told that it happened. She was a very religious woman, who probably thought she was doing great things for God by picking the sites of Roman temples/spirituality as where Christians would worship.
She did a “flying” ( = rushed) visit to Jerusalem, and came up with the “sites”. People kneel, walk, crawl and pray their way along the “Via Dolorosa” with great devotion. But that is not the way to Jesus’ execution site. He died where the Gospel says he died, at the “Place of The(A?) Skull”, near a road, on a higher level than the criminals who were crucified at the same time – one on the right, one on the left.
That is why the Altar Boys at a mass were always doing their kneeling and praying at the bottom of the steps leading up to the altar where the priest was. The design of Christian/Catholic churches, like the Mass did NOT come from Rome and the Catacombs. It came from Jerusalem. Rome “tweaked” the prayers and liturgy into Latin, but the Mass and its rituals started with the early church, i.e. in Jerusalem.
The Protestant “scrubbing” of all that tradition was the usual “Divide and Conquer” strategy that the Canaanites (= Phoenecians = Venetians) have used for thousands of years. The Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, were BOTH “intelligence operations” run by Venetian Intelligence.
That does not mean that Catholicism was perfect – far from it. Fr instance the first paedophile Pope was operating within a generation of Constantine setting up what became the Vatican. But the Canaanites were opportunists – Rome had been the enemy of the Canaanites since at least the days of Carthage. Canaanite-Venetian Intelligence was not slow to take advantage of the perversion and stupidity in organised religion. It was not hard to “influence” a corrupt and perverted church.
But the Mass DOES go back to the days of Joseph of Arimathea and the churches he built at Golgotha, and later in Camelot (at Glastonbury).
