I had to look it up :-))

I've heard of the family tomb but didn't know exactly where it was located.. Another 'supposed' location is in France..

Thanks for this..

Etymology

The name Talpiot derives from a verse in Song of Songs 4:4: "Thy neck is like the tower of David, built with turrets". According to rabbinic sources, Talpiot refers to the Temple. It was said to be a compound of the Hebrew words tel (hill) and piyot (mouths), as in "the hill to which all mouths turn in prayer".

Is the Talpiot Tomb the family tomb of the biblical Jesus? Some visitors will be aware that this question has been
the subject of a heated and polarizing debate, both for and against this proposition. FOTT will not take either of
these opposing views. Rather, it is the editorial position of this site that there is now enough evidence to say
that the Talpiot Tomb could be the family tomb of the biblical Jesus, but it is not a certainty. There are still many
open questions that relate to the Talpiot Tomb that will help us more completely answer the central question, as
well as many other questions that stem from the central question.
