Underground hideout from nearly 2,000 years ago unearthed in Israel
Archaeologists in northern Israel have discovered a vast underground hideout built by Jewish villagers almost 2,000 years ago during a revolt against the Roman empire. The hideout includes narrow tunnels and larger rooms designed to accommodate entire families and store precious goods. This is the first Bar Kokhba-era hideout of such size found in the north, suggesting the fighting did not reach the area. The excavation team found a bronze ring that would fit a child’s finger, along with other artifacts that offer insight into life in the Holy Land during that time.
