"The coffins in the tomb were made of local limestone and red stone, not the elaborate marble, or even gold, that would have suited Herod's grand tastes."It's hard to enforce ones "grand tastes" when one is dead. Maybe those in charge of the burial didn't have such "grand tastes" for the king?

The discoverer thought that the structure of the tomb used to be much taller and grand, and had been pulled apart for building stone.
