Death of Herod the Great

Herod the Great dies in 4 BCE after a brutal 33-year reign, and his kingdom gets split three ways between his sons like a messy inheritance dispute. Archaeologists found his tomb at Herodium in 2007, confirming the man was just as extra in death as in life — massive mausoleum, the whole nine. His death triggers the return of Mary and Joseph from Egypt, which is lowkey the most important U-Haul trip in history.
