National Geographic did a story on Herod recently. Not surprisingly, the photography is excellent, but the story expressed doubts about the biblical account.
Go here to view the slide show of several ruins of massive and beautiful structures that Herod had built during his reign. Tomorrow I'll give you a link to a biblical scholar's take (i.e., rebuttal) on the accompanying feature article.
NG's caption for the photo above:
Herod the Great's three-tiered palace cascades down the north face of Masada, the work of a king long reviled as a villain but today recognized as a master architect. With Roman techniques and unique ambition, he created audacious masterpieces of stunning beauty.
