Archaeologist finds tomb of King Herod
An Israeli archaeologist has found the tomb of King Herod, the legendary builder of ancient Jerusalem and the Holy Land（1）, Hebrew University said Monday.
The tomb is at a site called Herodium, a flattened hilltop in the Judean Desert, clearly visible from southern Jerusalem. Herod built a palace on the hill, and researchers discovered his burial site there, the university said.
The university had hoped to keep the find a secret until Tuesday, when it planned a news conference to disclose the find in detail, but the Haaretz newspaper found out about the discovery and published an article on its Web site.
Herod became the ruler of the Holy Land under the Romans around 74 B.C. The wall he built around the Old City of Jerusalem still stands, and he also ordered big construction projects in Caesaria, Jericho, the hilltop fortress of Massada and other sites.
It has long been assumed Herod was buried at Herodium, but decades of excavations（2） had failed to turn up the site. The 1st century historian Josephus Flavius described the tomb and Herod's funeral procession（3）.
Haaretz said the tomb was found by archaeologist Ehud Netzer, a Hebrew University professor who has been working at Herodium since 1972. The paper said the tomb was in a previously unexplored area between the two palaces Herod built on the site. Herod died in 4 B.C. in Jericho.
Herodium was one of the last strong points held by Jewish rebels fighting against the Romans, and it was conquered and destroyed by Roman troops in A.D. 71, a year after they destroyed the Second Temple（4） in Jerusalem.
周一希伯來大學(xué)稱一位以色列考古學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)了古代耶路撒冷和圣地的傳說創(chuàng)立人—希律王之墓。
希伯來大學(xué)稱墓穴發(fā)現(xiàn)于希律堡—從南耶路撒冷可以很清晰地望見這座被夷平的朱迪安沙漠小丘頂。希律王在這座山坡上蓋了一座城堡，研究人員正是在這里發(fā)現(xiàn)穴址。
希伯來大學(xué)本來想在周二召開記者招待會宣布發(fā)現(xiàn)細(xì)節(jié)，之前保密，結(jié)果Haaretz報紙知道了這一發(fā)現(xiàn)并將之刊登在網(wǎng)站上。
公元前74年左右，希律成為羅馬統(tǒng)治下的圣地統(tǒng)治者。他在耶路撒冷古城建的城墻依舊屹立在風(fēng)沙中，他還曾發(fā)令在凱撒、耶利哥、馬薩山頂堡壘和其他地方實(shí)施大規(guī)模建筑工程。
長久以來人們猜測希律王被埋葬在希律堡，但是幾十年的挖掘均無成果。一世紀(jì)歷史學(xué)家Josephus Flavius曾經(jīng)描述過希律王的墓穴和送葬隊(duì)伍。
Haaretz說希伯利亞大學(xué)考古學(xué)家Ehud Netzer從1972年開始研究希律堡并最終發(fā)現(xiàn)了希律墓。報紙上說墓穴位于希律建造的兩座宮殿中間，此區(qū)域之前未被人探索過。公元前4年希律王逝世于耶利哥。
希律堡是*反抗羅馬戰(zhàn)爭中的最后戰(zhàn)略要地之一，但是在公元71年被羅馬占領(lǐng)并摧毀，就在一年前羅馬軍隊(duì)剛剛摧毀耶路撒冷第二圣殿。
