It is amazing that men and women spend so much time worrying about where someone is buried.
In the old testament, the angels were in disagreement as to what to do with Moses' body, because of the very same problem. They knew the people would worship his grave and and forget that it was God that worked through Moses, not the other way around. In this instance, God stepped in directly and took the body of Moses and buried it somewhere unknown to all.
It does not matter where someones fleshly body is buried. We are not to worship them. God used these people to do his will through on earth, because these people submitted to him and allowed it. They were vessels, nothing more, nothing less. We can and should be the very same way with God, submitting to him and allowing him to use us in his will and his way.
God states point blank in the bible that he is no respector of persons, No one is more or less valuable to him than another.
While I have no idea where Peters fleshly body was buried, I do know that his spirit is alive and well and dwells in heaven with God at this very moment. That is what is important. Our fleshly bodies die and become what they were made from, and that is dust of the earth. Our spirits live on eternally.

Early Christians used to bypass to the Vatican hill because it truly is the position they believed St Peter became buried. Constantine ordered the construction of the first Vatican Basilica over what became believed to be his grave and the present Basilica is equipped on an same spot. it really is probable that his grave is below there someplace, yet there is not any way of understanding for confident. many years in the past, they excavated the realm below the important altar and positioned some bones of sufficiently old. in spite of the indisputable fact that, the realm became a Roman burial floor and the possibilities of those bones being the right ones are fairly distant.

Allegedly on the now covered downside of "Vatican Hill" in the original tomb site a couple of stories beneath the Basilica. Not quite directly under the alter but not too far off of a direct descent.

St. Peter's ashes are 6 feet under... somewhere in this planet... probably in the middle-east.

Don't know where Peter is and it really doesn't matter since the body is not something to pine after and or bow before or build any sort of faith around.
"Jesus is the way the truth and the light and no one comes to the Father except by Him."

And you know this because .... ?? You have some sort of gnostic revelation that the reports of the anthropologists who excavated the tomb were lying??
