Q: I think that the symbol over the entrance to the tomb could be an early representation of the christian symbol "Eye of God" which is a triangle with an eye in it. This could mean that God looks over the tomb and also could explain the same symbol found on Simon bar Jonahs ossuary.

A: The Chevron and dot looks like an early version of the "all seeing eye". The one we see used on the US dollar bill. I think a very compelling arguement has been made.

A: I think that is a very interesting opinion. My opinion is that this represents the head of a fish. The circle being the eye of the fish. I thought this before knowing that the fish reresents christianity and later found out that early christians under persicution in Rome used a similar symbol to identify themselves to other christians. The Only difference being the eye.
