"And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel."
Genesis 50:2
Supposedly, Israel is buried in the Cave of Machpelah, also known as the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, Israel. If this is true, why are there no pictures of his mummy? Why haven't archaeologists done research to confirm that Israel is buried there? Why haven't modern Jews done a DNA test on Israel--to find out his Y-chromosome haplogroup--so that the sons of Israel can be found with solid proof and the remnants of Jacob can be brought back to Israel?
It is so frustrating to me to do research on this as there is nothing to be found concerning this topic! It leads me to believe that maybe Israel is not buried there anymore. Perhaps someone stole his mummy long ago and hid it or worst: destroyed it.
Thoughts?
