Underground hideout from nearly 2,000 years ago unearthed in Israel
But this was the first Bar Kokhba-era hideout of such scope to be unearthed much further north, in a spot called Huqoq.
A marking on the ceiling of a cave is inspected as part of an immense underground hideout comprising narrow tunnels and large storage spaces that was dug by Jewish villagers nearly 2,000 years ago at a time of revolt against the Roman Empire, in Huqoq, northern Israel April 1, 2024.(photo credit: REUTERS/Ari Rabinovitch)
