Innit amazing how much the invisible looks like the non-existent?

Well, as of yet the operative word is still "think". I remember some decades ago, the same has been said about the tomb of Alexander in Alexandria. Let's just wait what it ultimately turns out to be. Doesn't mean it's not interesting. It certainly is.

Quote:Lead slingshots, bronze arrowheads and ballista stones — all stamped with a trident, the symbol of Antiochus Epiphanes' reign — were dug up next to the massive wall. These small artifacts tell the story of the animosity between ancient Jerusalem's Jewish residents and the Greek-controlled citadel.

We're not likely to find an inscription which says "I, Antiochus IV, took a piss on this wall" so this sort of evidence is pretty compelling.  Alexander's tomb probably fell into the sea in the aftermath of the earthquake of 365.
