Until now, the burial place of the Ibn Ezra (1090-1165) has been unknown. It was not even certain whether he died in Spain or Eretz Yisroel, NRG reported. This state of affairs may have changed with the recent discovery of a large, impressive old tombstone in Tzefas’ ancient Tzefas cemetery bearing the inscription: “The grave of the elder, the chacham, the expert doctor, Rav Avraham IbN Ezra, may his soul rest in Eden.” The letters of the actual name are small and coarsely chiseled compared to the rest of the inscription, leading one to suspect that they may have been added at a later time.
The cemetery’s hekdesh discovered the stone during renovations of the site. Tzefas Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu said he would reserve judgment until the establishment of further details. “The kever is located near the cave of Chana and her seven sons, Rabeinu Bechaye and people from the time of Rav Yosef Karo,” Rav Eliyahu said. “This is an ancient place and it is very logical that had Ibn Ezra passed away in Eretz Yisroel, he would have been buried in Tzefas.”

They should use DNA. It is correct more often than not.
Mr. “Talmud Scientists”: To “use DNA” they would have to exhume the body. Certainly, your not actually suggesting digging up the body just to satiate the curiosity of some yentas like you.
Actually I am! Otherwise we have fake news stories. Dig it up now. It actually will be fine.
And to whose DNA would they compare it?
DNA disintegrates over time. You are very unlikely to be able to get a DNA sample from a centuries old body.
