According to archaeologists, the house where the Last Supper may have taken place is still standing in Jerusalem, 2,000 years later. They suggest that this biblical event took place in the 'Upper Room' of a two-story limestone house with a red sloping roof, which remarkably remains intact after two millennia.

The room is briefly mentioned in Luke 22:11-13, where Jesus Christ asked for a large, furnished upper room to share the Passover meal with his disciples. The Bible recounts the story of the Last Supper in 33 AD, when Jesus sat with his twelve apostles and revealed that one among them would betray him - identifying Judas Iscariot as the traitor.

He also forewarned his followers about his impending death, and not long after, he was arrested and crucified by the Romans. As per The Daily Mail, several artworks dating back to at least the fourth century AD document this location.

It was around this time that Christians began visiting the room to commemorate Christ's final moments of freedom before his crucifixion. Thousands of people continue to visit the Upper Room each year.

In the narrative, Jesus blessed the bread and wine, explaining that they symbolized his body that would be broken and the blood he would shed for the forgiveness of sins. This act is still symbolically referenced in Christian services today through the sacrament of the Eucharist, reports the Mirror US.

The Upper Room, believed by archaeologists to be the site of the Last Supper - also known as the Cenacle - was originally a prayer room large enough to accommodate over 120 people. This location is briefly mentioned in the Book of Luke 22:11-13, where Jesus asks for a spacious, furnished upper room where he and his disciples could share their Passover meal.

This two-story structure is situated in Jerusalem's old city on Mount Zion, perched above the southern gate. It was built with expansive, branching columns that held up a vaulted ceiling and a sloping red roof that remains visible today.

However, due to the inability to carry out archaeological excavations at the site, it's unconfirmed whether the building existed during Jesus' time.

In 1884, while constructing a new church in Madaba, Jordan, Greek Orthodox Christians uncovered what is thought to be the earliest map of Jerusalem, dating back to 560 AD. The map was designed as a depiction of the Holy Land, showcasing the Cardo Maximus (main street) and two sacred structures at the southern end, identifiable by their red roofs.

It wasn't until 2017 that David Christian Clausen, an adjunct lecturer in Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, noticed something unusual. His attention was drawn to a building featuring the same red, sloped roof as the Cenacle, located in the exact same spot.

With their curiosity sparked, scholars realized more evidence was needed to confirm the site as the Last Supper's location. A sixth-century drawing unearthed in Italy in 1846 depicted Jesus entering the city's southern gate on a donkey with the Cenacle visible in the backdrop.

This moment is echoed in the Gospel of Matthew, detailing Jesus' entry into Jerusalem to fulfill Zechariah's prophecy, which foretold the 'Second coming of Jesus Christ' and the resurrection of the dead.

The narrative continues: "Tell the city of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you! He is humble and rides on a donkey and on a colt, the foal of a donkey."

Another portrayal from 1585 AD emerged when a fourth-century sculpture was found featuring Jesus before Mary Magdalene after his resurrection, with a structure bearing the same distinctive slanted roofline behind him.

John's Gospel recounts that Jesus revisited the Upper Room post-resurrection. This detail links the scene with Mary Magdalene to the scriptural accounts, but it hasn't convinced all archaeologists.

Some suggest the carving might depict Christ before an unidentified kneeling woman begging for healing, rather than signifying his rise from the dead.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) rolled up its sleeves in 2019, delving into past layers of the Cenacle with cutting-edge laser tech and high-definition photography to uncover the original visage of the site from times of the Last Supper.

"I felt like I was in the book by Dan Brown, 'The Da Vinci Code'," said Amit Re'em, the Jerusalem district archaeologist for the IAA during an interview with Fox News. "We needed to decipher the ancient symbols."

By digitally mapping every inch of the chamber, the IAA team crafted precise renderings, unveiling hidden design elements. The reconstructed imagery brought to light once 'obscure' icons, including the Agnus Dei – the 'Lamb of God' – and the Lion of Judah gracing the ceiling.

"The lion was the symbol of King David," Re'em told Fox, noting that: "According to ancient scriptures, Jesus was a descendent of King David."

Further inquiries are on the table as researchers, including Re'em, have yet to pinpoint concrete archaeological proof verifying the Cenacle as the Last Supper's locale. Hurdles faced by the IAA such as dim lighting, eroded walls, and ceaseless renovations have stymied prior ventures into surveying the historic edifice.

"From time to time, when we have an opportunity, we're continuing to document other parts of the holy complex," Re'em told to Fox.

"I hope that maybe, in the future, we will have the opportunity to conduct a small-scale classical archaeological investigation."
