Didn't work though.
To the right is a picture of the Herodium, one of his many fortress/palaces, where his tomb is. According to Netzer the sarcophagus has long since been smashed to bits and Herod himself is no where to be found. A common fate for ancient kings, one must admit.
Still, I can't help but savor the irony of two tombs of two kings -- one of which tried to kill the other -- both empty for such radically different reasons.
