Our next stop in the Old City was to the Jerusalem
Archaeological Park & Davidson Center. It's located at the southern end of the Temple Mount. As part of the
archaeological dig they've found structures that date back to the
Herodian era.
One of the interesting things is that you can see how large the temple stones are. They were huge, it was hard for me to even image how they would have moved all those stones to build the Temple.
Part of the excavation has uncovered the an old roman road which would have been part of the market during the time of Christ.
Another section of the of the excavation that I really enjoyed was the south steps of the Temple Mount. You can see where the original gate leading from the steps onto the Temple Mount would be located.
It was such a peaceful place and really cool to think that these are the steps that Christ would have walked. We also convinced our tour guide Jimmy to take a picture of all of us sitting on the stairs. So this is the fabulous group that I was able to go to Israel with.
Some amazing people with amazing stories and lives. It really was a great group!
