Thought it was interesting:

"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem announced on Monday the discovery of
the grave and tomb of Herod the Great, the Roman empire's "King of the
Jews" in ancient Judea.

The University said in a brief statement the discovery was made at
Herodium, where Herod's hilltop fortress palace once stood some 7 miles
from Jerusalem.

Professor Ehud Netzer, from the Department of Archeology at the Hebrew

Wow that's awesome!

I was watching it on the news. They actuall don't know if it is his
tomb.

They were basing their announcement on achitectural information about
the designes used in the time of Herrod which match the type of
buildings and ruins they found.

the have yet to find any concrete evidence such as his body. Or an

I will wait till they find such before I decide.

Wonderful, any ancient find can bring lapses in history closer together.
Thanks so much for the info, Mike. Can't wait to see what is discovered
or maybe uncovered is the word.
