If IF this is indeed his tomb, too many years have passed for any bones to still be present. At best, some dust may remain. The mummies of Egypt existed in such great form because they were specially preserved. But King Herod would not have gone thru such a process.
And, I'd give this news a few years to settle; I prefer to wait until there is agreed consensus among many diverse experts before I will accept that the find was authentic. We've had too many hoax's and misinformation lately regarding burial boxes of Jesus or James His brother and other similarily "discovered" relics.
I patiently wait.

There have been dozens of tombs discovered without any bones. That doesn't mean all those people resurrected. Either his body was buried elsewhere (happened often so grave robbers would not take the body when going for the treasures), his body was removed later and reburied in another tomb by other discoverers or by grave robbers, they haven't dug it all out yet so they haven't found his body yet, etc.
When you read that a body hasn't been found (yet), why would you automatically think this?!?! What a stupid thought.

Perhaps he was the actual messiah then. But the truth has been buried all along by the Christians. Well the evidence that Herod rose from the dead is about the same as for Jesus rising from the dead. No dead body. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. What nonsense! We may as well now claim that Herod rose from the dead and start a new cult. At least we do have an actual tomb for veneration.

Acts 12:21-23
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory; and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

Still remains to be seen if it is his tomb. If it is, it was most probably raided for treasure many years ago. Just like the Egyptian royalty tombs.

I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has been in his tomb in the past 2,000 years.

What? Without bones you say? Well then, he MUST have been resurrected. I mean, that's all the proof one would need, right?

A McRib has no bones and it hasn't been resurrected.
