Archaeologists have uncovered one of the monumental fortifications that protected the kings of Jerusalem
In the City of David in the Jerusalem Walls National Park, archaeologists from the Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University have discovered a huge fortification moat, at least nine meters deep and at least 30 meters wide.
Throughout the last 150 years, many attempts have been made to identify the moat, and now it has been revealed for the first time. The moat was designed to protect the upper city where the temple and the palace were located, and to separate it from the lower city.
