Herod exhibition again

POLITICS: King Herod, Long Reviled, Finds New Love Among Jewish Settlers:

Regarding the proposed alternative handling of the exhibition at the end of the essay, I will start thinking about trusting the Palestinian Authority with artifacts important for Jewish history when they start acknowledging that there was a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in antiquity.

I have a post that deals with Herod's ethnic background here.

Background on the Herod the Great exhibition is here and links.
