Findik clarified: “According to certain accounts, St. Nicholas was laid to rest close to the city of Myra’s hallowed district.
The discovery of a sarcophagus next to the church, which is believed to be the location of his grave, may prove that this is the hallowed space we have been looking for.
“This is a significant archaeological confirmation of historical sources regarding the burial place of St. Nicholas,” said the investigator.
However, as they continue to look for hints, just the lid has been discovered so far, while a little portion of the burian chamber is visible.
Finding an inscription on the tomb is our greatest desire. The Associate Professor emphasized, “This would help clarify.
The burial contents and allow us to determine the exact period it dates to,” adding that further information about their results is anticipated in the next year.
