This is a very interesting site and contains some great features from early church history. Inspite of this, the Garden Tomb is most likely a tomb from the Old Testament times and not the tomb used at the time of Jesus' burial. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher tends to be more fitting to the history and scriptural account of the gospels.
The Place of the Skull
The Garden Tomb
An early church carving of the Cross and the Anchor located just to the left of the entrance to the tomb.
An iron spike embedded into the wall to the left of the tomb. The spike would have stopped the rolling stone.
A carved channel for water that led to a shallow baptistry
The carved baptistry is almost in the shape of a heart.
A carved pool in by the edge where the stone rolled. This would have been used for footwashing during the early church.

A cross from the early church is painted above one of the tombs.
Galyn coming out of the tomb.
Toni in a beautiful, well watered garden between Gordan's Calvary (the Place of the Skull) and the Garden Tomb. This would have been the place (but, probably not) where Jesus would have appeared to Mary after the resurrection.
This is the entrance to a very large cisten under the garden that still holds water. A reflection in the water below can be seen. This would have supplied plenty of water for this ancient garden.
This is a photo of a picture of the cistern under the garden by the Garden Tomb. The opening to the cistern at the top is the same opening as in the photo above.
