Archaeologists find theater box at Herod's palace

I find it unbelievable that AP could generate a story like this and never mention the actual name of the place, Metzada, or alternatively, Masada.

You can see why Israel's enemies in the region reject science. Its fruits, like carbon-14 testing, verify certain archeological finds which provide inconvenient but irrefutable corroboration of Jewish history.

" Its fruits, like carbon-14 testing,... " provide inconvenient but irrefutable corroboration that the world is more than 6 thousand years old?

Or were you getting at something else?

Anyway, cool finds. I hope Nat.Geo will have some updated programs on the site, soon.

isn't the place called Herodium?

TimRussert: No one said there never was... Some population replace other population over time by force or not. Please read some history books and stop at the creation of Israel.

The hill is natural at Masada, I believe. The article mentions a mighty man-made mound.
