The Resurrection of the Dead on the Mount of Olives
The website dedicated to the Mount of Olives is online, allowing visitors not only to acquaint themselves with the Mount of Olives itself and the tourist activities in the area but also to be exposed to a mapping of the oldest cemetery in the country and to have access to up-to-date information about those buried there - all from the comfort of their home.
Even today, archaeologists continue to dig through piles of dirt and debris and find valuable evidence of the life lived here more than two thousand years ago
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.
