King Herod's Tomb Found
 
An Israeli archaeologist on Tuesday said he has found the tomb of King Herod, the legendary builder of ancient Jerusalem and the Holy Land -- a potentially major discovery that capped a 35-year quest for the researcher.

So they think they have found the tomb of Herod that old fox. Herod was a very evil man. He was referred to as the Fox that would knock off the blooms of the almond trees.

King Herod the Great

Herod (73-4 BCE) was the pro-Roman king of the small Jewish state in the last decades before the common era. He started his career as a general, but the Roman statesman Mark Antony recognized him as the Jewish national leader. During a war against the Parthians, Herod was removed from the scene, but the Roman Senate made him king and gave him soldiers to seize the the throne. As 'friend and ally of the Romans' he was not a truly independent king; however, Rome allowed him a domestic policy of his own. Although Herod tried to respect the pious feeling of his subjects, many of them were not content with his rule, which ended in terror. He was succeeded by his sons.

You know, I saw a documentary on Henry VIII last night. That guy was a total nut! He had 6 wives, and most of them, he put to death.

Dunno, was Herod a fat, lazy, greedy, lustful king? You know, just reciting the deadly sins in my head, I realized Henry was guilty of most of them. :freaky:
