I hope to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-visit Israel later this year, and re-re-re-visit Or Dovid. You have to give me a tour of all the discoveries over the past years. I also recommend the Davidson Center and the Wohl Archeological Museum to visit the ruins of the second Bais Hamikdosh Jerusalem. It is kind of sad, and a bit amusing, seeing tourist look at what was built by the Byzantines, Mamluks, and Ottomans, and associated it with Dovid Hamelech.
Thanks so much for this series. This is really informative. Visiting Jerusalem back in 1999, it was a real surprise to learn that the ancient city was so far below the current ground level, and now uncovering the old, old Jerusalem, I must come back again soon. Thankyou
G-D is never late,Neither is HE EVER too Early. These facts are coming to light right on time, for SUCH A TIME AS THIS. Bless you all who are bringing to light the true facts of the CITY OF David and of GOD.
I think it's confirmed somewhere in the Bible book of Prophet Zechariah 2 and 4 verse 8 and 9 where it spoke about New Jerusalem being built better than and joining or merging it with old Jerusalem (King Solomon built). By King Joshua and zerrubabel, if I remember correctly.
Don't know if I agree with you at 1:50. Those stones seem to be much smaller than the stones for a less important town like Hebron, too small, I think. Real archaeologists usually don't make such blanket statements about their research with 100% certainty, they approach their study scientifically, and should express it as such.
Hebron is less important? It was David's first capital. It is where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rachel, Jacob, and Leah are buried. Ruth is buried nearby. Hebron is very important!
I'm a little confused. You make it sound like the upper city does not contain any ancient history (i.e., pre 2nd Temple history). Yes, current walls were built by Ottomans but the city the Assyians destroyed in 586 BCE included upper city constructed in part by Hezekiah and rebuilt by Nehemiah. Am I wrong?
Only parts of the walls were rebuilt by the Ottomans (where they had been broken in wars). The upper city, where the Temple was built, was first constructed by Solomon as well as the ascent leading up to it (1 Kings 10:5). Hezekiah extended this ascent (stairway). The temple was built on the site of a threshing floor (2 Samuel 24). This was the same place where Isaac was offered (Genesis 22). When an army damaged or destroyed buildings/ walls, the sites were not completely cleared and then rebuilt (as we do today), they levelled the broken parts, and built on top. This is why the City of David has been excavated, and buildings and his palace discovered underneath. Archaeologist Eliat Mazar discovered the pillars of the palace of David (2 Samuel 5:11), clearly identifiable, as the capitals of the pillars were of Phoenician design.
@@beulahedwards2288 Thanks for the response. I'm pretty familiar with what you say. I understand they are promoting the Cidy of David part and I understand the history fairly well about the upper city. My point was that biblical Jerusalem also includes not only the oldest part (the lower part) but also the upper city is very much a part of biblical Jerusalem. Again, thanks for the response.
@@paulszydlowski4390 Yes, the upper city is certainly part of biblical Jerusalem... but it only began when Solomon started building the Temple. Note 2 Samuel 24:18+ This was the same place where Abraham sacrificed Isaac... Gen 22.
Can not wait to come back to Jerusalem and walk on the pilgrimage road and see those old city walls 🇮🇱🙌🏽🐪
It's always amazing to me that many famous ancient cities simply were lost over time only to be rediscovered later.
Great work! Really enjoy the content and the teaching.
No any hesitation to love and admired my beloved city The Golden Jerusalem of God 🥰❤🇮🇱⚘👍 thanks so much for adding more knowledges🙏
Jerusalem! Where my Lord Jesus preached, died and resurrected. Love to you both!

Awesome!
The pool of Siloam was connected with the Temple of Asclepius and not the immersion pools.
Surrounding, yes her.
Shalom Israel 🖖🏼🇮🇱🖖🏼
What about Ein Rogel?
