“[A] conservation team from the National Technical University of Athens has unsealed the tomb for the first time since at least 1555.

This is the structure known as the “Edicule” inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The tomb referenced in the OP article is housed within/beneath this structure.

I’ve been here twice.
