Ehud Netzer says two limestone sarcophagi found near Jerusalem had once held the remains of a wife and daughter-in-law of the Roman-era ruler. In 2007, he said he had found Herod's tomb. An Israeli archaeologist said this week he had unearthed what he believed were the 2,000-year-old remains of two tombs which had held a wife and daughter-in-law of the biblical King Herod.
