Archaeologists discover the grave of 'Santa Claus' in Turkey

A group of archaeologists have claimed to have found the grave of the man who inspired "Santa Claus" under a church in Turkey.

Nowadays he is the man in the red suit who lives at the North Pole, Saint Nicholas – a 4th century Greek Christian bishop who inspired the world.

He was known for giving generously to the poor and even helping to perform miracles, which is where the idea of ​​giving Christmas presents came from.

His grave was found under a church in Turkey, 5,300 miles away from the North Pole.

Experts claimed that his grave was located in the ruins of an ancient Orthodox Christian church in Turkey. Scientists believe that the tomb was submerged by rising Mediterranean sea levels in the Middle Ages.

It is believed that a church was built on top of a large building in the town of Myra between the 5th and 12th centuries to protect the tomb of Saint Nicholas.

Earlier this month, the tomb was found after archaeologists found mosaics and stone floors from the original shrine.

This seems to support claims that the holy figure lived and died in Turkey, which was then part of the Roman Empire.

Osman Eravsar, head of the provincial cultural heritage preservation board in Antalya, told Demirören News Agency last week: The first church was submerged by the rise of the Mediterranean Sea, and a few centuries later, a new church was built on top. Now we have reached the remains of the first church and the floor on which St. Nicholas stepped. The floor slab of the first church, on which Saint Nicholas walked, has been discovered.
