The Pilgrims’ Road to the Temple Mount and the Stepped Street
The ancient Pool of Siloam was discovered in the south of the biblical City of David at the end of the nineteenth century, but it remained unexcavated for many years - until recently.
“For the first time in 2000 years, we have archaeological finds from the Temple Mount.” So began my discussion with Gabriel Barkay, a veteran archaeologist with extensive experience, who has made numerous important discoveries.
A building near the top of the Hill of the City of David was discovered with burnt pieces of wood inside it. Upon examination of the findings, it has been discovered that this is from a tree that does not grow in Israel.
