Next Tisha B’Av

On this day, Tisha B’Av, Jews mourn not only the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome in 70 C.E A.D. 70, but also the even more ancient destruction by Babylon in 586 B.C.E. B.C...

That the wood survived the events of 586 B.C.E. B.C. is interesting...

To discover beams from 586 B.C.E. B.C., remnants of Jewish homes destroyed, is to encounter ancient history but not only ancient history.

The article didn’t explicitly say so, but seemed to imply the beams from 586 BC were from the Temple. But since they were sycamore wood, they couldn’t be. The Temple beams were cedar.

I read the article looking for clarification, but they didn’t say exactly where they found the beams.
