What is a 9-ton slab of glass doing in the middle of a burial cave in Beit She'arim, Israel? And why does such a small town need a wall? What were they protecting?
Beit She'arim is an ancient Jewish necropolis where Yehuda ha-Nasi, the head of the Sanhedrin, was buried. This catacomb cave dates back to the second century AD and is one of the greatest archeological sites in Israel.

It gave me chills to think that the glass slab could be part of First Temple. However even if that is not the case, this is amazing and beautiful. Not being Jewish myself, I'm sure I don't understand all of the importance in this, but I still love all the history and beauty. It also makes me happy to think that something so important for the Jewish culture, for all of us really, could still be intact and teach us things. Thank you for the video.

The most amazing thing about this slab of glass is that despite all the broken edges from where a sample could have been chipped off discretely they chose to bore a massive hole in the middle

I think its the remnants of the floor from the castle of king soloman. Remember the story when the queen of Sheba came to meet The King she thought the floor was water and she raised her garment so not to get wet? But in actual fact it was made of shiny glass.

Thank you, S&R, for all you do. It is a pleasure seeing you in church each week.

One thing that always strikes me about videos that show ancient places is the intricacy of the stone work and carvings. It amazes me that people thousands of years ago could carve such details into stone. The amount of time needed to do such work must be long. Other than that, yep, pretty interesting video.

Amazing work you have been doing so far to show interesting biblical sites to those who adore the Holy Land. Congratulations

"I’m telling you, this is a priceless, fragile, holy glass relic from our ancestors!!" 'Ok we believe you, let's drill a huge hole right in the middle of it...’

Thanks for showing and taking the viewers 'walking through' different scriptures and events that took place. Good to watch b4 heading back to Israel again n again... SHALOM.

That would be a plausible explanation for why a 9 ton piece of glass would need guards and a gate. Temple Artifact. Genius!
