The ancient burial caves on the outskirts of Jericho date back to the Second Temple era, and are apparently part of the extensive burial grounds of the Hasmonean palace uncovered at the site. The cave was recently exposed in the course of landscaping work carried out by local Arab farmers, who bulldozed the site to prepare the ground for agricultural work.
Professor Rachel Hachlili of Haifa University's Zinman Institute of Archaeology, who studied this region, identified these caves as the largest Second Temple-era burial ground in Israel.
Hikers visiting the site over the weekend were appalled by what they found: Human remains strewn everywhere on freshly-tilled ground, catacombs thoroughly ransacked and looted, and sarcophagi (burial caskets) that had been resting in the caves for over 2,500 years had disappeared.
Antiquities theft and destruction of archaeological treasures is rampant – in fact, it has become nearly commonplace - throughout Judea and Samaria. In this case, ancient catacombs were wiped out by illegal quarrying despite the constant stream of alerts, warnings, and documentation the Regavim movement sent to the Regional Commander for Antiquities in the Civil Administration, the body responsible for law enforcement in the area.

Stuff that was around way before that creep married a nine year old girl and created his Satanic religion.
Typical and pathetic third world behavior by our arab brothers”. Disgusting. Uncivil.
as if Western History matters to a them, like giving a dog a bicycle
Just like democrats with American monuments.
Any chance we are confusing arabs with muslims? There are arabs that ARE jews.
From the web:
Jericho is a city in the Palestinian Territories and is located near the Jordan River in the West Bank. It is the administrative seat of the Jericho Governorate, and is governed by the Fatah faction of the Palestinian National Authority. Its population is primarily Muslim.
Just like democrats with American monuments.

They emulate the Arabs in destroying antiquities, the Soviets in erasing and rewriting history.
Amen and second it.
