This is just cooler than cool

An archaeologist believes he's found the tomb of Herod the Great.

That is just so cool, I can't put it into words.

I've actually wanted to go looking for it for some time now as well. After all, we know from Josephus that Herod was buried in the vicinity of the Herodium, and we've known where that was for a while now. I could never understand why nobody ever went looking for the tomb itself.

Now I know that someone has been looking for this tomb for over twenty years. And now, his hard work has paid off and we may have the fragments of Herod's sarcophagus.

I mean, this is just awesome. Really, really cool.
