"that Saint Peter was buried ... under Dominus Flevit"

[edit]

This is an extravagant and controversial claim, not actually claimed by Bagatti and not actually made in the source cited. The claim was mostly promulgated in an anti-Catholic tract in the 1970s and popularized only on the Internet. It was also mentioned in the controversial film The Lost Tomb of Jesus. The subheading "Jerusalem ossuaries" on the St. Peter's tomb article gives more accurate information on this supposed claim; more details are in this scholarly article. If it be mentioned here at all (and I tend to think not; it is not mentioned in Bagatti's partner Milik's page), it needs much better documentation than this.
