In recent years, the Islamic Trust has turned an underground vault in the compound into a large prayer area, prompting complaints by Israeli archaeologists that important artifacts are being destroyed. At one point, the archaeologists said truckloads of soil from the holy site were dumped uninspected into the nearby Kidron Valley.

It's crazy that they are finding this type of stuff. The quote above bothers me a bit. What happens if there was something very significant that they dumped out? It could be lost forever just cause somebody's got a bad attitude.
