The traditional location for Calvary, where Christ was crucified, is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre located at 31° 46′ 42.4″ N, 35° 13′ 47.1″ E.

A popular alternative location for Calvary is Gordon’s Calvary, which is adjacent to the Garden Tomb and located at 31° 47′ 1.87″ N, 35° 13′ 47.92″ E.

And lately, Ron Wyatt claimed that the Ark of the Covenant is located at Jeremiah’s Grotto, which according to him is also directly below the site where Christ was crucified. It’s location is 31° 47’ 02.07” N, 35° 13’ 50.53” E.

Now the Temple Mount is located at 31° 46′ 40.7″ N, 35° 14′ 8.9″ E.

By simply comparing the longitude positions of these locations, one can see that all sites claiming to be Calvary, are located West of the Temple Mount.

Now the problem with this is that Christ was crucified due East and directly facing the Temple sanctuary.

I know this because Apostle Paul compared the Red Heifer altar with the altar of Christ where He was crucified. This implies that Christ was sacrificed on the same place, namely, the highest point in the sedimentary rock area of the Mount of Olives (which is due East of the Temple), and which I identified in my previous thread titled “Ophel – The Location of King Solomon’s Temple”.

I personally think Gordon's one better suits "near the city" and "many passers by", and there are alledged quake cracks there.
Though perhaps yours being east might match temple curtain torn.
