Archaeologists fascinated by intricate 4,500 year old production technique

Archeologists discover charcoal inscription by Swiss noble Knight Adrian von Bubenberg on a wall on Mount Zion.

200 marble items found on the site include dozens of column capitals with plant motifs, and some bearing an eagle – the symbol of the Roman Empire.

In a complex operation, the vessels, dating back to the Hellenistic period, were lowered 30 meters down on ropes to safety.
