=== Herod's Burial ===
For centuries, the final burial site of Herod the Great was unknown. Then on May 8, 2007, [[Archaeology|archaeologist]] Ehud Netzer found the remains of a [[mausoleum]] and pieces of an eight-[[Foot (length)|foot]] coffin at the end of a staircase in the Herodium. This tomb bears no identification, but no personage other than Herod is known from the period who would likely be buried in such a tomb in such a place.<ref name=Netzer>Govier, Gordon.
