The dramatic entrance to King Herod’s 2,000-year-old palace has been discovered in Israel.
Archaeologists have found a colossal arched corridor leading to a magnificant entrance hall covered with frescoes during excavations at Herodium.
The hilltop fort, ten miles south of Jerusalem, was built to celebrate Herod’s victory over the Parthians from what is now northeastern Iran.

I hope more discoveries are made for that region.
