Ancient Stone Structure Located Beneath the Sea of Galilee By: Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent SEA OF GALILEE, Israel - An ancient stone structure has been found in the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. It rises almost 32 feet (10 m) high, has a circumference of about 230 feet (70 m), and weighs an estimated 60,000 tons. As a comparison, Stonehenge is only half as big around, the tallest stones don't reach as high, and the structure weighs more than most modern-day battleships.(1) It was first detected during a sonar survey of the southwestern portion of the Sea of Galilee in 2003.(1) Yitzhak Paz of the Israeli Antiquities Authority and Ben-Gurion University believes the structure could date back more than 4,000 years. "The more logical possibility is that it belongs to the third millennium B.C., because there are other megalithic phenomena [from that time] that are close by," he said in an interview with LiveScience.(2) Paz also said that the structure indicates that those who made it were a "well-organized society, with planning skills and economic ability."

First Use Of the Cross At Tell Khaiber? By: Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent TELL KHAIBER EXCAVATION SITE, Ur, Iraq (WorthyNews) - An even more amazing discovery has been found at Tell Khaiber in Ur, Iraq. Professor Stuart Campbell of Manchester (UK) University's Archaeology Department found the remains of a "sprawling complex" near the ancient city of Ur along the Euphrates river in southern Iraq. Ur is the birthplace of the patriarch Abraham.(1) Various artifacts such as bowl pieces made out of alabaster and gaming pieces (ancient version of checkers?) made out of diorite have been found there as well as fragments of unbaked clay containing the names of Babylonian men and their fathers, providing some nice genealogical information.(2) The most amazing discovery, however, is the remains of the building that was found there.
