Rock art discovered in "Dark Ages" tomb in Israel

Moving 400 tons’ worth of boulders to make a 65-foot-wide tomb is no easy feat. That’s why Israeli archaeologists were impressed to find an ancient burial chamber of that size dating back to the “Dark Ages,” more than 4,000 years ago.

And the tomb isn’t just big. It also has a rare example of rock art carved into its ceiling.
