Ehud Netzer
Ehud Netzer (d. 2010) was a Professor Emeritus at the Hebrew University’s Institute of Archaeology. An authority on the architecture of Herod the Great, he excavated at sites throughout Israel and Jordan—including Jericho, Herodium and Masada, where he worked with the late Yigael Yadin. Netzer died on October 27, 2010 from a fall at Herodium where he had been digging for 38 years in search of Herod’s tomb.
