Old Coins Found Challenges Jewish Religious Assumptions!

Western wall is one of the holiest place of Jews.According to their belief and assumption the wall was built by Herold a Jewish leader who died in 4 B.C.
Recently , under the foundations of Western Wall, diggers have found coins with the Roman stamp 20 years after Herod's death, tell the archeologists. This implies that the Western Wall was not built by Herod in fact. It might have been built by his descendants years after his death.
Four coins found were stamped by Roman Officer Valerius Gratus in 17 A.D.
