A newly excavated Jerusalem site includes a wall claimed to have been built by the biblical King Solomon.
An ancient street was uncovered in Jerusalem earlier this month, revealing what commercial life was like in the Old City 1,500 years ago, and now archaeologists have hit a wall. In a very good way.
A section of Jerusalem's city wall dating back to the 10th century B.C. was found
The section of the city wall revealed, 70 meters long and six meters high, is located in the area known as the Ophel, between the City of David and the southern wall of the Temple Mount
Ancient artifacts found in and around the complex pointed Mazar to the tenth-century B.C. date
Hebrew University archaeologists have revealed an ancient path in Jerusalem believed to date back to the time of King Solomon, along with structures including a gateway and the foundation of a building. Dr. Eilat Mazar, the leader of the archaeological dig, said the findings match finds from the time of the First Temple.
