Ossuary of Simon the Temple Builder
More ossuaries dating back to the second temple were found in Givat Hamivtar in a large tomb with several burial niches. Engraved in Aramaic on one of them is 'Simon Bana Hekhala", "Simon, builder of the Temple". The ossuary is of simple design indicating that he was most likely one of the builders of the Temple, perhaps a master mason or an engineer. It is on display in the Israel Museum.
