ANCIENT WORLDS BIBLICAL MUSEUM & RESOURCE CENTER An incredible discovery has been made in regards to Nero and possibly the first ever - revolving dining hall. When archaeologist started digging on an artificial terrace created by Neros successors on the northeast corner of Romes Palatine Hill, researchers certainly hadnt been looking for a precursor to the modern revolving restaurant, but that may be just what they have found. Francois Villedieu, the French archaeologist who leads the dig, says; There was no other ancient building like it, nothing to compare it to, Villedieu recalls. The strata it occupied and the building technique dated the tower to Neros time. But whatever it was built to support had been razed to make way for the new palace and erase the memory of the previous ruler, reviled as a cruel, corrupt despot and megalomaniacal builder who allegedly fiddled while Rome burned down in 64 C.E. The “revolving restaurant” may have turned on: “Primitive ball bearings and water power.” Read the exclusive article by Haaretz News...here! PLEASE LIKE & SHARE
