As you may have heard, an archaeologist has announced the possible discovery of King Herod’s tomb at Herodium, Israel.
When people announce archaeological discoveries, wouldn’t it be helpful if newspapers printed the coordinates of the discovery so you can look at the site in Google Earth? I think it would, so here they are: 31.666334N, 35.242072E
Someone created a KMZ for Google Earth (also see the forum post).
Here’s a detailed Google Earth image of the site:
Here’s Herodium in a wider context (looking northeast). Jerusalem is about eight miles (13 km) north of Herodium.
