Neat - Archaeologists Find Herod's Tomb (In the Last Place You'd Think To Look...)

Hebrew U archaeologists have uncovered the grave and tomb of King Herod. They were going to keep it a secret until an official press conference on Tuesday, but of course someone leaked it to Ha'aretz and of course Ha'aretz had to ruin the surprise for everyone. And what a surprise it is - they've been looking for this place since 1972. You know where they found the tomb of King Herod? Check it out:

Seems like a pretty logical place to look, no? If you were look for the tomb of Herod, wouldn't you look in a place called Herodium? Actually of course they've been looking there forever - but they just found it now.
