The article didn’t specify, but was this at Masada? The description “in the Judean desert” and the timeline of 71 AD seems to imply that it is.

“Herod was the Jewish proxy ruler of the Holy Land under Roman occupation from 37 to 4 B.C.” WRONG! Herod was an Arab Bedouin that was Rome Appointed!

Is that a toilet in the middle?

Is that a toilet in the middle? Doesn't look very comfortable.

This would be near Jericho in the lowlands. It is not the same as Masada.

well preserved popcorn bags and soda cups also found. All in sizes "large," "extra-large," and "jumbo," I presume.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod There were a bunch of Herods....
Herod the Great (c. 74-4 BC), King of the Israel who reconstructed the Second Temple (Herod's Temple) in Jerusalem.
Herod Archelaus (23 BC-c. AD 18), ethnarch of Samaria, Judea, and Idumea
Herod Antipas (20 BC-c. AD 40), tetrarch of Galilee and Peraea, who was described in the New Testament as ordering John the Baptist's death and as mocking Jesus
Herod Agrippa I (c. 10 BC-AD 44), king of Judea, called "Herod" in the Acts of the Apostles
Herod II, sometimes called Herod Philip I, father of Salome

On his father’s side Herod was Idumaean, so he should be a descendant of Esau (Edom). Some time before his birth the Idumaeans were forced to accept the Jewish religion. Herod’s mother was the daughter of an Arab sheik. I don’t think the Jews of the time regarded Herod as authentically Jewish.

No coconut oil residue was detected, proving the ancients were far superior in their understanding of nutrition.
