Soon after the Resurrection of Christ, many theories were put forward to explain the empty tomb. But we have not only the evidence of the Holy shroud of Turin to prove the death and Resurrection of Jesus, but some historical records and traditions. Thus we have the records of Josephus, a reliable Jewish historian, whom the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem had made commander-in-chief of Galilee when the Jewish revolt broke out in 66 A.D. He was captured by the Romans and was witness of the destruction of Jerusalem and Temple.
