Archaeologists believe they may have found the tomb of the biblical prophet Zechariah near Jerusalem.
It is thought the tomb is located within the ruins of a recently discovered Byzantine-era church found in the Judaean hills at Horbat Midras. "Researchers believe that in light of an analysis of the Christian sources ... the church at Horbet Madras is a memorial church designed to mark the tomb of the prophet Zechariah," the Israel Antiquities Authority has stated.
Israeli archaeologists unveiled on Wednesday the remnants of a newly discovered Byzantine-era church they suspect is concealing the tomb of the biblical prophet Zechariah.
