New discoveries of Herod's tomb

The search for Herod's royal burial chamber continues...

In the 2008 season a section was excavated on the other side of the city’s stairway. The results of the excavations are kept secret, but there are rumors of an exciting discovery. Perhaps this is the actual burial chamber of King Herod?..

The new findings will be revealed soon (Nov 18, 2008) by the archaeologists, and were documented in a film that was prepared by National Geography (to be released on Nov 25).

Biblical sites in Jerusalem

Jerusalem, the capital of Israel and the most Holiest city in the World, is located in the center of Israel, on top of the Judean mountains (700-800M above sea level). This strategic location, first selected by King David 3000 years ago, made the city the heart of the biblical Israel and the Jewish faith, a Holy city for the Christian and Muslim faiths, and the capital of Modern Israel.
