Second Temple Burial Site Discovered In Arab House On Har HaZeisim During Police Raid
JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Jerusalem police recently received information about a man who was collecting and hoarding rare birds in his house, situated in Ras El-Amud below the Har HaZeisim cemetery. During the course of a raid on his house which took place Thursday evening, Border police discovered 26 goldfinches, which are a protected bird in Israel, that the man apparently intended to trade commercially. However they then made another fascinating discovery.
Noticing a cave in his house, the police forces entered the cave and found a hoard of ancient artifacts. They summoned members of the Antiquity Authority, who identified the artefacts as burial sarcophogi from the period of the Second Temple, as well as other earthenware from the same period. The man was apparently trying to hide the ancient site in order to illicitly trade them on public markets.
