Is the State Hiding a Major Bible Era Find?
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/4/13 | Gil Ronen

.....

The capital "apparently indicates that an entire temple of castle is buried beneath it," the newspaper adds. However, when Rosental contacted the Israel Antiquities Authority to inform them of the find, the person he spoke to simply said – "Yaron, good for you. You found it, but we already are aware of it. Now forget about the whole thing and keep your mouth shut."

Rosental said that he later found out that the IAA had known about the side for 18 months. He said that no digging has taken place since then, and that even steps like cordoning off the area to prevent damage to the rare find, have not been taken.

Rosental calls this "a scandal" but says that no less worrisome is that the state appears to have plans to move the separation fence between Israel and the PA in a way that will leave the site in the PA's hands,

According to Rosental, excavation of the site has potential for uncovering a complete castle from the Judean kings' period, for the first time ever. "We appear to have a complete castle here," he said. "Those who came after it did not know of its existence." The details found inside could be "amazing."

The IAA confirmed to Makor Rishon that the find is an important one that appears to date to the period of Judean kings. However, the IAA added, the subject is "sensitive" and "requires serious and responsible handing."

Would Indiana Jones back off from this "sensitive handling" bozo? Handle it with pickaxes and shovels, and if it derails the surrender of yet another part of our inheritance, all the better.

A castle? Could it be The Temple?

By ‘capital’ they mean the top of a column.

I have no idea what “temple of castle” means, but this seems to be a royal palace in south Jerusalem rather than the expected location in the north of the city.

While I am well aware of the problems and trouble that would ensue, I really would love to see this structure razed.  photo Domeontherock_zps63ac2ced.jpeg

Liberals would like to see Israel handed over to the Palestinians, but who do they think built these structures thousands of years ago? Where do they think Jews originally came from if they think they “stole” the land?

Of course, that would bring about another wave of hysteria to the Muslim world. Something that comes very easily to them, it seems. Look what they do when the Pope quotes some ancient emperor, or a cartoon depicting Mohammed is printed. Even if something like an earthquake brought it down, Israel would be blamed, because there is a little-known conspiracy theory that they’re developing an earthquake machine to do just that. That said, this doesn’t stop Muslims from desecrating the holy sites of other religions. The dome of the rock is in itself a desecration, and should be razed.

I would not be surprised if Iran covertly destroyed it.

On a side note: I would be curious to know, if I posted the same thing on DU, KOS or Huff post, how many viewers needed to look up the definition of “Razed” ? Or would they consider it a “slang” of “raised”, which is the complete opposite.

interesting thing about really old buildings on this planet, there are very few of them. That's why even people who are disgusted by the existence of a really old building will usually step forward to protect it from destruction.

Repainting and decorating are common but, in general, we don't knock them down unless we are crazy people in India. The muzzies and hindus do this to each other all the time.

in reading through the history of the building, when it was put up there wasn't anything there except what had already been there all along ~ no other building stood above the level of the platform.

So, how did the erection of that building desecrate anything, unless you believe ruins left behind by Roman armies are to be treated as sacred.

Remember, when the time comes the place will be properly prepared.

Israelis need to start resorting to violence and armed occupation of sites like this, the temple Mount and the cave of the Patriarchs to ensure Jewish dominion over them.

The Arabs will tell you the blond ones came from Europe. of course that's nonsense ~ there were still blond people in North Africa and Yemen when the first Arab wandered out of the Rub al Khalid with a complaint about too much dust and too little water.

There are still blonds throughout the ME, just not as many of them as in Finland, but then again, how many places have that many blonds.
