It gave me chills to think that the glass slab could be part of First Temple. However even if that is not the case, this is amazing and beautiful. Not being Jewish myself, I'm sure I don't understand all of the importance in this, but I still love all the history and beauty. It also makes me happy to think that something so important for the Jewish culture, for all of us really, could still be intact and teach us things. Thank you for the video.

The most amazing thing about this slab of glass is that despite all the broken edges from where a sample could have been chipped off discretely they chose to bore a massive hole in the middle

Thank you, S&R, for all you do. It is a pleasure seeing you in church each week.

I think its the remnants of the floor from the castle of king soloman. Remember the story when the queen of Sheba came to meet The King she thought the floor was water and she raised her garment so not to get wet? But in actual fact it was made of shiny glass.

One thing that always strikes me about videos that show ancient places is the intricacy of the stone work and carvings. It amazes me that people thousands of years ago could carve such details into stone. The amount of time needed to do such work must be long. Other than that, yep, pretty interesting video.

Thanks for showing and taking the viewers 'walking through' different scriptures and events that took place. Good to watch b4 heading back to Israel again n again... SHALOM.

Amazing work you have been doing so far to show interesting biblical sites to those who adore the Holy Land. Congratulations

I love you guys! Explorers! Adventuresome! History & Geography & Archeology! Wow! Timeless treasures! Thank you so much!

Dear Sergio and Rhoda I have just discovered you channel. I like the way the two of you present the topics and how you put your videos together. The maps and our materials you use make the history more life like. Keep up the work James from Canada.

I like the real loud harsh music. It always adds to the video. I especially like it when the person stops talking and the volume of the music goes up about twice as loud as they were talking. I always put my headphones on so I can enjoy it at its maximum volume.

Wow I love the way you guys find and record all these things and I also love your enthusiasm for every thing and place you discover it makes it come to life

I just stumbled on your channel yesterday. I love it! I will probably never get a chance to go to Israel and go to the places that you go. Very fascinating and very inspirational!! So Thank you❤️

I came across your channel, on my feed. My husband and I have been binge watching your episodes. We are blown away!!! Thank you for sharing such beautiful Land with us! We love Israel and hope to visit one day.

My first time seeing this video and man am I glad I got to see it!! I’m currently taking a class in Hebrew Biblical history so this was even more interesting for me now! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & travels. Praying y’all will be blessed ❤️

Love watching and learning with you! Please keep up the great work may God bless you.

Dear adorable Rhoda & Sergio, Beit Shearim and the mystery of the massive piece of glass was brought out well...Interesting...

Great video channel on Jewish archeological studies. This is unique to KZfaq! Getting permission to show this sacred site and interpreting it is excellent work. Thank You. - Watchmen

Absolutely fascinating!! I love the Hebrew translation that you included!!

"I’m telling you, this is a priceless, fragile, holy glass relic from our ancestors!!" 'Ok we believe you, let's drill a huge hole right in the middle of it...’

Hello from Minnesota USA!! 💕💞💖💝 ✝️ 🎉Blessings!!

Fascinating story and great videography and even the music was perfect. Just wonderful! Subscribed now.

That would be a plausible explanation for why a 9 ton piece of glass would need guards and a gate. Temple Artifact. Genius!

In a word, MAGNIFICENT! I've always been intrigued by Israel and my interest in that ancient nation has now doubled. Before Israel was scattered in 70 AD, It was already a nation in its own right. Only in recent history- 1948, has it been recognized once again as a nation. But in my opinion, as long as it's people were still here a nation can always be reborn.

I love these two. They are so fun & their videos are really good. I love ancient history.❤🤗

I love history, especially ancient mystery history. U ask good questions and make good analogies and make the journey fun. Keep up the great work.

What an interesting, informative and entertaining video with good videography, presentation and with well coordinated narration. I had never heard about this before, thank you for this fascinating insight. Subscribed.

Very interesting about glass and the connection to the Temple Barry blum

No the music was awesome, I loved it, it added the professional touch to this documentary video. I too noticed the music and I thought wow, SR's video has reached another level. So keep it up. I wish I can also see these spots in Israel. God willing. Amen.

There is a reason they call it "float glass". You would want a stable, completely level table to pour the glass onto to make window glass. The thickness, and perhaps the extra lime, would make it very strong and stable to withstand the weight of the glass poured upon it's surface. Since glass is a liquid, it would naturally level on this already level surface keeping it's thickness consistent. In the older pictures of the find, there was a thin ditch around the slab which would be for standing blocks around the edge that can easily be pulled away after the glass hardens.

I love watching you guy's. I'm cooked up in the house because of this virus and your videos make me feel good, thank you

Brilliant coverage! Thank you for doing this

Loved this video, as all your others. Your cat is beautiful! 😊

.. look at the craftsmanship of the wall with the arch in the background at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="185">3:05</a>.it's amazing !

This is the first time I am watching this video. You have blown my mind. Everyday there are new discoveries that reinforce the Bible. As a Christian I am always amazed by these discoveries. These discoveries are backed up by science and secular history. The more I learn the more believe in the Bible.

Love you two!! And that precious fluffy kitt-cat too!! New subscriber prepared to view all your fascinating journeys!!!

All I can say is BRAVO! Hands down. Incredible work! Thank you and much love from California. God Bless Everyone

Well done! I really enjoyed this.. Frank from Boulder, Colorado, USA

This is indeed a great video on all levels! Thanks!

Thanks again for another fascinating program.

just love the shows you are making and sharing with us!!!!! God Bless you, so fascinating

You two are excellent presenters and I've enjoyed this vid tremendously. God bless you and keep up the good work.

Just found this one, GREAT! Carry on you two.

The same set up could be used for smelting metals and specifically gold. It takes so much fuel and they ran out of trees, it happened wherever there was gold and this was on a grand scale. Very cool. Thank you.

Rhoda and Sergio, I always learn so much watching your videos! Thank you, so much!

Loved this, was gripping my seat. Thank you

Fascinating discovery and theories. Maybe time to revisit the site for an update. Thanks.

Really good production. You’ve elevated your edits.

First you said it has double the amount of lime in it and that is why it’s not transparent… then you translated “transparent, sealed”… so the sequence is backwards. It cannot be a temple window because it is not transparent, and it never was. Sergio and Rhoda, I love what you are doing. I would come and do it myself if I could. I’ve been to Israel five times and I keep coming back. Keep up the wonderful videos. Dave in Houston Texas

Thank you very much for all the videos. Very interesting. Love from India

I love your documentary’s ! Thank you

Fantastic video and information. Love & Thanks from Scotland.

about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="296">4:56</a> i appreciate the comparison to empire state building to show what was required to make that 9 ton slab of glass. thanks much. hope to visit soon ! enjoy your vids; great views of artiFacts

Great find and thanks for sharing.

Very, very cool! I need to visit these sites, just so much awesome history. I really like the fluffy cat at the end too.

I like 2 look,listen, read,and absorb everything.The moment I came across yor vid I hesitated and watched it thru, thank u 4 stating fact and truth in a way everyone can believe

Amazing video !!, love history...thank you..from South Africa...

The archeological examination showed that the glass is sitting within a limestone tank and the glass on the bottom still contains the raw material that formed that glass so there is no doubt that the glass was formed in situ exactly where it is sitting now. Your story about it being the temple window is nice but it’s not backed by the actual scientific investigation. All the evidence supports the idea that it was baked on site. It would also be incredibly difficult to remove a 9 ton slab of glass from the ruins of the temple and transport it the 130km from Jerusalem to Beth Shearim. Also, it wasn’t placed in its current location before around 400AD so where was it between 587BC and then and why has no historian during that period noted its existence?

You both made this a great documentary knowledgeable and interesting you sound like wonderful people keep up good work

Great and informative video. I love archeology and history documentaries and have never heard of this place before. I’d love to learn more about it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this interesting video. The antiquities of these ancient times are fascinating. Very well done!

Interesting a temple piece is also buried, a great respect , love the story

Lol luv the kitty !! Amazing video just like the rest. Looking forward to next season. And I like the intro song. 😁

Wow! Very interesting and wonderful discovery! Thank you, Mrs. Cavalier

Just found your channel. Cool archeological history and very well presented. Subscribed!

Fascinating and informative. And I love that cat at the end.

When they analysed the glass they should be able to tell where the materials to make the glass (ingredients) came from. That would be very helpful in distinguishing if it was made locally, materials imported or indigenous or if the glass is from another area entirely. If that was so then it would be a case of finding the source and determining if it’s man made or made by nature from one of the many cataclysms caused by comets etc which cause conditions of extreme temperatures. Did the university declare its man made? The extra lime might be the clue. I say this as Here in Scotland we have vitrified forts on top of large hills. So called “experts” tried to say the rock was vitrified by the enemy stacking wood and burning it, so they tried and quickly ran out of wood and had to emergency call for skips full of wood. In the end they burnt a little from the side of the wall. The problem with their theory is that as we all know heat rises and the forts were burnt from the top down. I suspect it was a comet, the British Isles woodland disappeared along with the Romans and all sorts of other strange goings on.

when talking about important things , dont include any music.

Loved the video and the kitty at the end! 🥰😻

This is a very informative and fascinating video. Thanks for making it!

You guys blow my mind everytime.... I can't thank you enough 😊

Hiya, I've just found your channel and subscribed. That was absolutely fascinating and certainly food for thought. Take care and keep well, from England.❤️🌞

Just found your channel. This is the first video I have watched. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and you both and your beautiful cat. Thanks for all you do. Great show.

Ive been in the glass industry my whole life. Ive even visited glass furnace archaeology sites in Europe. This is intriguing. If I wanted to replicate this I would find a spot where I wanted the massive block of glass to stay forever then build a rectangular furnace on that spot about one -two stories high out of ceramic and heat resistant stone blocks. the chamber for wood/ coals/ flammible oils,and pitch would be the middle level and the top would be the block chamber for melting.with a number of holes leading down to the bottom level and sub level .. These lower levels would have a floor and walls with the exact shape of massive block I wanted. id spend probably weeks using a high flux (ash/lime) ratio to silica so it would melt easier at lower temps (1700-2000 F) let it drain down holes/chutes built in the block side walls and fill the lower level which would act like a mold. then i would keep the fires stoked for a few months to a year without fresh glass melting to drip down so that the lower block would cool slow enough not to crack.....in theory

My theory is this is drama, glass that is not see through is naturally produced by volcanic action. Obsidian is volcanic glass and comes in several colours, it has been worked and used for tools and weapons in ancient times. What we have here is a lump of low grade obsidian that has been worked flat in preperation for a stone casket to be placed on it. The theories here are laughable.

Lovely. Really enjoyed this documentary.

Fascinating video, you guys always bring the goods!

I love this. It breathes life into the past and edifies the hearer. God bless you both! 💗

I think it's more likely that this was some natural glass which was cut and used as a burial slab. As for why there were gates and a guard tower, it could be simply to protect the burial places, but considering that they were of Roman construction, it's likely there was a Roman garrison in the town. More excavations could reveal a wealth of details we seem to be lacking at the moment.

LOVE your videos!

Amazing--thanks for taking us to this very interesting holy site--in a cave! dts/usa

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this beautiful, Reasonable, concise, logical Historical explanation. I am sad given the religious graduate degree studies I received I never heard of the glass windows! But it makes perfect sense.

wow ...today i found this channal...as christ i was interrested on the content. but now its <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="131">02:11</a> at night ....becouse i cant stop watching...this video and the theory of the window ,,wow ..got goosebumps....

This is incredible love your video ...! Liked and subscribed !

This is awesome. I lost the livestream so I'm excited you posted it so soon!! God bless you both !

Very very interesting... and I like the music btw. 🎶

You two are funny! Very well done. Enjoyed it greatly!

Another great video indeed . Thank You so much !

Thanks for you videos I have learned few things that were not mentioned in other videos about Israel.

Perhaps testing the glass for other contaminents, such as cedar of Lebanon ash and animal fat from sacricial offerings would further advance the one hypothesis.

Really interesting thank you. Enjoyed seeing your beautiful cat at the end of the video.

Great video guys. God bless you!

Pretty cool guys! Thanks for the insight!

I subscribe to very few. However your video was very informative and very interesting. Can wait to see what else you got up your sleeves. And THANK YOU for a subscribe worthy site !

Love your videos. Cute kitty.

Great video, incredible story, do not listen to others. You guys have many fans and I'm your newest sub. Again Fantastic

I can't help but wonder what is beneath that 9 ton slab of glass.

Yall are doing a great job, thanks for sharing

Sergio and Rhoda , thanks for your faithfulness to God . Amen
