King Herod's Tomb Was Desecrated

According to a news report published in Haaretz, the archeologist who located King Herod's tomb at Herodium said Tuesday that the grave had been desecrated, apparently shortly after his death, but called the discovery a "high point."

Even a desecrated tomb has some historical value. It would have been great to find it in tact from the original though.
