A coin laying in a Jewish temple for over 2000 years, now that is remarkable. Sorry, couldn’t help it.

I’ve recently taken to buying, cleaning and collecting old roman coins. Pretty cool to watch the coin appear after long stretches of soaking and cleaning them.

Orna never heard of a metal detector.

Must have been dropped by some Jewish merchant trying to sell goods in the ancient Palestinian Empire. We all know Jews have no history in the land. I read it in the NYT so it must be true.

Cool.

This is fantastic since it is one of history's most important points.

Artifacts always stimulate interest in the subject.

***King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who decreed that the Jews must be annihilated***

2500 years there has been a war on the Bible. No army has succeeded, from Antiochus the Mad, Caesars and the Roman Legions, the Moslem Hordes...

Today it still here and drives the unbelievers mad.

What is in that book of “myths and fables” that terrifies them so. Read it and see!
