The Curse of the Macabee Tomb

Everybody knows Chanukah: that holiday in mid December that doesn’t involve reindeer. But where does it come from? The Naked Archaeologist explores the “miracle of the oil” and the Maccabees, who freed the Temple in Jerusalem and without whom we wouldn’t celebrate Chanukah. But he’s also on a mission: the tomb of the last king of the Maccabee dynasty was found recently in Jerusalem. Now the Naked Archaeologist is determined to find the tomb of the founders of the dynasty.
