Plus, it is extremely unlikely that there will be some 'smoking gun' proof that this really was Paul's tomb, unlike say some inscription on an Egyptian mummy's tomb.

Except of course tradition has ALWAYS held that Paul was buried on this site (I believe even Protestants accept this tradition since it has nothing to do with any theological disagreement) AND THE TOMB IS INSCRIPED, "APOSTLE PAUL, MARTYR."

It is beyond me why some here feel that any thread that is remotely related to Catholicism should be used as an advantage to smear Catholics. Christians have always buried their dead, go to any cemetary, those are memorials to PEOPLE, we do not bury our dead in unmarked graves and forget them as the Mohammadens do.
