Ze'ev Weiss, also an archeology professor at the Institute of Archeology, said it seems logical that the tomb belonged to Herod based on the discovery of the podium and pieces of the sarcophagus, combined with accounts of the funeral taking place at Herodium.
However, the archeological team and other experts say much excavation work still remains to be done at the site.
"In my mind, as an archeologist, there is nothing 100 percent," said Weiss, who worked with Netzer in the early 1980s in the Herodium area. "We have to work, we have to prove it, but still, when we take all the details, I would say there is a high percentage that this is Herod's tomb."No one has commented on this article.
