Magnificent remains of a royal structure from the time of the Kings of Judah
Who was privileged to live in the monumental structure possessing a breathtaking view of the City of
David and the Temple, which was uncovered in an archeological excavation on the Armon Hanatziv
(Commissioner's Palace, also known as Governor's House) Promenade? Was it one of the Kings of Judah, or was it perhaps a Jerusalemite family of nobility and wealth during the First Temple period?
The discovery, unearthed by the Israel Antiquities Authority in archaeological excavations near the Beit Shatz tourist complex at Armon Hanatziv in Jerusalem at the initiative of the City of David. Only about ten throne houses from the First Temple are recognized today in the archaeological find.
If you thought that election propaganda and the use of sacred symbols to help candidates succeed characterize only our modern era - you were wrong. Findings that have been discovered show that the method existed already in the days of the Second Temple.
