A Second Temple Jewish house has been uncovered in Jerusalem's ancient City of David, Israel's Antiquities Authority announced Sunday.
The 2,000 year old private home, which archeologists believe was part of a complex of homes belonging to affluent people, was discovered during an excavation at the history-rich site last month.
Several rooms of the split-level house - as well as a ritual bath - were found at the compound, archeologist Tzvika Greenhaut who was charged with excavation at the site said.
The plot of land, located across from the Kidron Valley in the present day Arab neighborhood of Silwan, is owned by the right-wing Elad organization, which works to resettle Jews in east Jerusalem.
"We are talking about a house belonging to a very rich family," Greenhaut said, noting that the ruins were hewn into the rock in a very high standard.
The newly uncovered site will be open to the public, he said.

The title of this story goes down in the "Top Ten Most Likely Archelogy Finds Book". The forensic archeology skills required for this project were "Elementary my Dear Watson."
Next they will be finding Igloos in a Inuit Camp !

You deny that Isaac and Esau were stepbrothers?Isaac and Esau were no such thing. It was JACOB (aka Israel) & Esau who were brothers, twins to be exact. Isaac was their father.
Ishmael & Isaac were half-brothers.
Try again.
To: madison10; Yehuda
I had always thought Ishamel and Issac were half brothers Abraham the father of both males Ishmael was the son of the Egyptian handmaiden Issac's mother Sara, isn't that why in Judiasm being Jewish is recognized by the mother's heritage rather than the father?

A) - That don't look too much like a house.
B) - How do these old - houses - get buried? Is there a volcano nearby? or what?
