Shmuel Browns was at the Herodium a few days ago and had a chance to talk with archaeologists excavating the staircase area. He shares what he learned as well as some hastily-taken photos on his blog.
If you missed it, Shmuel also has some rare images of the VIP box of Herodium’s theater. Check those out here.
Thanks, Shmuel, for sharing the news and photos! Hopefully the area will be open to the public before too long.
