it would be nice if they had clearly marked the excavated wall footings vs where reconstruction was done. I was there in 1983 when druze workers were rebuilding the walls.... we could tell mostly where the fighting was the most heated because of the number of arrow heads, catapult balls, bones and then the position of wall stones ..
I worked on the Gamla excavation in 1982. looked much different. We found many artifacts of the war. There is Nothing like digging up a perfectly round rock ball... like small bowling balls...chipped with hammers. and iron roman arrow heads. Some of the walls you see towards the tower are reconstructed... and of course no paths or stairs. Shmarya Gutmann, the chief excavator was fascinating to work for. He always encouraged patience. I have used his words through out my life when working on important things. "Slowly, carefully and with love." The temple was almost as you see it in 1982. It was a great memory for me. Shmarya also was involved early on with Masada. I have visited there often. Thanks for your video. It is so nice to see it now that it is available to see.
You're very welcome.
Wow. Things are really changing.
They are, indeed!
I was wondering about an upate to the digging there. THANKYOU for such a well filmed video and perfectly adding extra points like the church rocks. Please do more!
My pleasure!

Roman theater seating was semi circular or circular. These steps are at a right angle to each other.
The steps were built onto an already existing reservoir by Herod.
Not Siloam! Amazing
Brilliant Jacob!
Thank you, Christopher.
Thank you Jacob for another walk with you. Wish I was there to experience this today. Best Tour Guide Ever!!!!
משובח
toda!
Even though people can sometimes make innocent mistakes, I really think the Israel antiquities officials embarrassed themselves with this one. There were so many indicators that this site was not the Pool of Siloam and the “Pilgrimage Road” was not a road for pilgrims at all (the older dates on coins found beneath the pavers, the pool’s distance from the Temple, the marketplace and SEWAGE(!) tunnel running below the road that would make temple-goers ritually unclean, the list goes on…). At the very least, I think there were enough reasons to give the archaeologists pause before labeling these sites too hastily. Although I do wonder if perhaps these identifications were intentionally rushed in order to gain support and approvals for these somewhat controversial archaeological digs. Regardless, for someone like myself with a keen interest in biblical archaeology, the situation is frustrating even though I am glad to see them finally change course. I visited the city of David around the time this dig started and not one person I spoke with there at that time would even entertain the idea that this site was anything other than Siloam. Anyways, just sharing my musings. Thank you for the great video. I would love to hear more updates about this dig and others in Jerusalem. Subscribed!
Outstanding!!! It's great to see a new video, Jacob; thank you; I hope this will be one of many!🎯
Hi David. Thank you for the kind words. Hope to get some more up.
My home city!
Jesus did not bring his disciples to Caesarea Phillipi. He avoided all gentile cities and told his disciples to also. Mark's gospel says he and his disciples went to the villages of the area.
He went to the area, but did you know that there is a synagogue there?
I really appreciated your comments - I learnt so much from them. I literally hate those silent walking tours - they are so frustrating not knowing what you are looking at. I only wish that you didn't stop at Zion gate! Love your style.
Thank you! I have a book about Galilee. You can get it here: www.guideinisrael.com/holy-land-tour/go-to-galilee.php
תודה רבהה יעקוב
בבקשה!
This is the True Geographical location of Jerusalem!

Late March, I think. Thank you.

Very interesting history Jacob thank you for sharing this information
how are u? miss your videos
I'm great! More coming in 2013!
Thank you very much
You are very welcome!
This make perfect sense from both an archaeological and historical perspective. Other than the church of the holy sepulcher, the crusaders had no idea where the original sites existed 2000 years ago. Unfortunately, for economic, religious, and cultural reasons, the archaeology will be ignored, and both tourists and pilgrims will be shown the wrong place.
Thank you, Giovanni.
We love this man and his tours, he is the BEST tour guide in all Israel. Our prayers are for him and his wonderful family every day.
Thank you Richard and God Bless you and your family!
I'm into the history here, not just bible lessons about Peter and Jesus, the whole history is interesting to me and archeology
Glad you liked it!
Excellent to see another video from you, Jacob! Thanks for posting more awesome content! I hope your tour business is ramping up and people can enjoy your knowledge and expertise in the Holy Land. 😀
Thank you, David! Hope to see you here soon!
Shalom ! From ARGENTINA!
Shalom, amigo!
Always a pleasure to come back and watch again.
Thank you, David!
Amazing that commune farmers would have the battle sense to not run and be gunned down, but shoot at it and make the occupants button down, dig in, let it roll past and attack the tracks and toss Molotovs in the back vents. Can only assume that there were some ww2 vets among them hoping to live in peace but provoked to defend.
These people knew that there was no place left to run. A lot of Israelis (then called "Palestinian Jews") served in British Commonwealth Forces during WWII.
Just a little note that some information presented in this video isn't the most accurate. The Baha'i Faith is not an offshoot of Islam, it is an independent world religion. Baha'is believe in Progressive Revelation, that all religions come from the same unknowable source over the course of human history. The idea that God never leaves humanity alone and will send divine messengers (Jesus, Mohammad, Zoroaster, Buddha, Krishna, Abraham and many more) to guide humanity towards His will and purpose. The 'message' is always tailored to suit the spiritual maturity of humanity at the time of the revelation (hence why there are so many religions). Also, Baha'is around the world are working tirelessly to bring about the vision of Baha'u'llah - "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens". Texts are available in every language you can think of.
That the Baha'i faith originates in Iran, a Shi'ite country is no accident. It's interesting to me that all the Baha'i holy texts are in Farsi, Iran's mother tongue. Food for thought.
Love your videos! Thanks for posting them.
