That's actually quite old news; I think it was already around six, seven months ago.

I guess they're drumming up interest for the December issue of National Geographic.

(But why do they use wee pyramids to represent Herod's palaces?!)

Eighteen months, as it turns out: here is an overview of links from back then; article is in Dutch, but you will find what you need.

I was afraid of that.

Did a search of several threads but found nothing like this and so posted.

My apologies.

No need for apologies. I, for one, wouldn't have noticed the National Geographic feature. So ... thanks!

The identification of the site as being Herod's tomb is not new, but finds of wall paintings in a style otherwise unknown in the Levant in one of several burial chambers excavated is.
