Digging up Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi?

[wc]

I am questioning digging up this particular grave.
Why does the I.A.A. wish to do so? Is it to gain information about life, death, burial practices in the 3rd century A.D.?
Or is it just to see if they can verify if this is in fact his burial site? It would be interesting if they could prove that this is his grave, but still part of me wonders about the necessity of it. Sometimes graves are meant to be left alone.

Here is more about it...and a bit on why they want to exhume him:

Hi Admin and thanks for link. I had actually read that article previously. I hope it does prove to be very significant. Though I don't necessarily believe in the grave being the home of the soul, sometimes (in just my personal opinion) graves should be left alone.

I feel, for the most part, like you.  I am confident that they will treat the site - and the remains - with the utmost of respect and honor.
