Archeologists Discover Ancient Graveyard Where Second Temple Model Once Stood
Arutz Sheva
November 7, 2006

Archaeologists working at the site of the Holyland Park building project in Jerusalem have discovered a graveyard that is over 4,000 years old.

The graveyard formerly had a model of the Second Holy Temple on top of it. The model was recently relocated to the Israel Museum.

The graveyard, the archaeologists estimate, was used during the Bronze Age, from 2200 BCE until 1600 BCE. It is filled with amulets, weapons and work tools from that period, as well as complete pottery vessels of a high quality.

I love the GGG threads.

But I'm really hoping that
"the other anchor was found lying on the deck of a boat that had probably sunk there."
Is the result of some reporter's being paid by the word and not a researcher's critical analysis.
