Did you know Herodian underground Temple chamber still exists in Jerusalem, Israel?

King Herod built his impressive fortress at Masada, Israel, overlooking the Dead Sea. It is thought that King David may have also used this fortress, as the Bible references King David retreated to his high fortress.

This stone was buried for 1,700 years and was uncovered in 2009, proving a link between Jewish communities around the Sea of Galilee and Herod’s Temple in Jerusalem.

In the Second Temple period, the altar created by King Herod stood at this location near to the temple that Jesus saw. This is where the Jewish Temple sacrifices took place.

King Herod built two extravagant palaces for himself on top of Masada and later Flavius Josephus documented the siege of Masada by Roman troops from AD 73 to 74.

Herod’s Temple once stood where the Dome of the Rock now stands in Jerusalem, Israel. Inside the Dome of the Rock is the foundation stone where the Holy of Holies was built inside the two Jewish Temples of Jerusalem.

As archaeologists began discovering the ruins of the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, they helped us look into a lost world from the Bible.
