WORKERS renovating a house in Bethlehem found an ancient tomb containing clay pots, plates, beads and the bones of two humans, Palestine said yesterday.
The 4,000-year-old tomb provides a glimpse of the burial customs of the area's inhabitants during the Canaanite period.

Interesting, but the burnt remains of a PLO flag seems a little suspicious!

I thought tombs in that part of the world are meant to be empty - after three days.

Good point!

Either the three day story is just that or these guys missed the three day resurection call due to one hell of a hang over after a gigantic pub crawl!

Or they knew that if they left the tomb unattended Israel would claim it as theirs and they would be forced to join the other refugees in the area!
