An undated file picture released by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem May 8, 2007 shows an aerial view of Herodium, where the Roman-anointed "King of the Jews," Herod the Great's fortress palace once stood, in the south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem. An ancient staircase used in a royal funeral procession led an Israeli archaeologist to solve a 2,000-year-old mystery, the location of the tomb of Herod. [Reuters]
