Herod's tomb found!

Big news from Hebrew University. First Jesus now Herod the Great

Update (05/08/07): There are a lot of posts coming out about Herod’s tomb, and I don’t plan on reflecting on it in depth on this blog, but I would like to highlight Kevin Wilson’s post about its significance, especially for those who are not Bible/Early-Judaism Geeks.

By the way, my original comment above was tongue in cheek. These are totally different kinds of archaeological finds with different implications. It’s just funny that they have been made public in such a short period of time. Maybe we’re in the end times. Are there any Scriptures about significant tombs being dug up as we near the coming judgment?

Oh no! Please tell me that world renown “theologist” James Cameron had nothing to do with this one! LOL!
