The Talpiot Tomb (or Talpiyot Tomb) is a rock-cut tomb discovered in 1980 in the East Talpiot neighborhood, five kilometers (three miles) south of the Old City in East Jerusalem. It contained ten ossuaries, six inscribed with epigraphs, including one interpreted as Yeshua bar Yehosef ("Jeshua, son of Joseph"), though the inscription is partially illegible, and its translation and interpretation is widely disputed.
