Philip the Apostle’s tomb found?

AFP: PHILIP THE APOSTLE'S TOMB 'FOUND,' in a place called Pamukkale (Hierapolis in antiquity) in Turkey. As usual, the proper response to this sort of claim is skepticism until compelling evidence is produced. I give the AFP points for the scare quotes around "found."
