The Bible comes alive to the world. Again it brings the "Light" into the dark world of Darkness. The Truth is out there, always done in a heavenly pattern, that is in the physical as in the Spiritual.

I hope it's not politicized as 'Another proof for Israel's foothold in this country' as someone wrote.

Wonderful photos that validate the biblical texts! Can you make a power point presentation with written words and perhaps recorded voice about each photo?

Thank you for a beautiful virtual tour of this magnificant find. Having been to Israel twice, last in '90, I wish I could come again, but age, health and finances preclude that. Thanks again

Methinks to away to Herodian in some wee hour...alas, I wonder what befell Herod's hoary golden bier? Alas, my poor spade may bark the thing a nick or three...

Great! Thanks for the wonderfull pics! I'm Hungarian, living in Budapest, and my favourite country is Israel.This is the land of miracles, and tales, wonderful land of the world-history! Congratulations!

Amazing find! It's always exciting when archaeology corroborates ancient history and takes it to the present. I must agree with Michael Glatzer that this would make an excellent site for a museum of megalomania and corruption...Herod's legacy.
Peggy Burton 21-May-2007 22:17
Great job! Greater things will be found. If anyone wants to find Jesus, invite Him into your heart and you will find Him alive and he will come in. It doesn't take years to find only a moment of faith.
David Livingston 19-May-2007 09:50
You DID it Ehud!!! All these years of patient digging and restoration have proved it all worthwhile. You finally discovered Herod's tomb! I will never forget our digs with you.

Our visit to Herodium was a highlight for us in 1985. God bless and encourage you as you persue the authenticication of the site as Herod's tomb. "The paths of glory lead but to the grave". Lawrence McAllister Sr.

Another proof for Israel's foothold in this country!
A fascinating discovery!!!

Thanks for the great images. It is almost like being there. Bill Skinner
Susan Omanson 17-May-2007 04:22
How thrilling even if it isn't the tomb of Herod. It certainly is a fascinating discovery that fires my imagination and my desire to return to the area and view the site for myself!

Indeed, I need no other evidence nor any further plea to establish faith in the Holy Bible. This discover and a host others has really confirmed the authenticity of a book that has stood the test of time.My soul has really found a resting place after a long search. Prof.and your team members, I say God bless you richly.May the Lord, in the highest heavens, who is the source of all knowledge continue to endow you with knowledge and wisdom to continue with this great work.

Great images - however it will be highly appreciated had the photographer added proper
texts to each and every relevant image.
Pesonally I would not resist having the LOCATION of the tomb in terms of direction & distance in regard to the mound's center.......
Thanks.
thomas marshall 15-May-2007 20:49
is it possible to send him to also look for the remains of pharoahs charriots in the red sea? there may be metalic fragments still in the silt.

Mazal Tov! It looks fabulous. Dr. Minna Lonnqvist

Ani Mitragheshet M'Ode !!!! Can't wait to get back to Eretz Yisrael
to see this miraculous new discovery! Thank you to everyone on the team
that has worked so hard to make this a reality! Minneapolis, MN USA

for Gena Draker -
congratulations for these confirmations for your faith in Herod.
Please distinguish it from the blind faith in some things which are not confirmed yet.

Everything pretty. Very beautiful, but in this one: IMG_2787, there are also life. And this is the most beautiful.
Gina Draker 11-May-2007 21:13
Again, showing that Archaeology is the Bible's best friend. . .and Jews and Christians have not a blind faith but indeed built on solid historicity and evidences.

Now Netzer can look for the bones of the beheaded John the Baptizer in the fortress.
Michael Glatzer 10-May-2007 10:34
Don't you think that a Museum of Megalomania and Corruption should be set up at Herodion. It could be a place of pilgrimage for world leaders.
Gemma 09-May-2007 11:47
Great news - hope this inspires the Powers that Be to open the road so that folks can get there!! Gemma - Jerusalem
