Jerusalem (CNN) -- Israel's Antiquities Authority announced Monday that a rare Roman sword in its leather scabbard which belonged to a Roman soldier and an engraving of a Menorah on a piece of stone dating from 66 CE were found in recent days in the 2000 year old drainage system in Jerusalem which ran between the City of David and the Jerusalem Archaeological Garden.

Of the two images they could have shown us, the ancient Roman sword or a rock with a menorah engraved in it, they decide to show us the rock with a menorah engraved in it. Which actually looks like an alien IMO.
:srsly?:

Maybe it's actually an alien and the archaeologists were biased due to location.... :)

If you want alien conspiracies via archaelogical evidence... look no further.

I just want to see the Roman Sword. I wonder what story that Sword has. Every weapon has a story and I think I would find the story of that sword to be quite interesting.
