Timna Cemetery
Long-buried objects were unearthed in the cemetery at Timna. Wendell Phillips observed that these alabaster objects were “standing exactly as they were before excavation in the antechamber to a tomb at the Timna cemetery. A few minutes before this picture was taken these unsuspected objects were completely covered by the debris of two thousand years.”
