Since traditional archaeological excavations have produced no useful evidence that might clear up this question, scholars have been forced to resort to other means to find clues that might help them find this legendary room, which has so much meaning to the larger Christian community (and to ancient historians in general).</p>
<p>While the exact location of the
Last Supper room remains unknown, archaeologists who’ve dedicated themselves to the search believe they are closer than ever to finding the site. Their investigations are focusing on an ancient two-story structure that can be found on
Mount Zion just outside the walls of Jerusalem’s
Old City. This building that has long been alleged to be both the site of the
tomb of the Biblical King David and the place where the Last Supper was served, with the lower floor covering the former and the Upper Room (known as the Cenacle, or “dining-room” in ancient Latin) associated with the latter.</p>
