New Biblical Site Discovered in Jerusalem, City of David






Let's hope the promised peace from January 2025 will allow us to visit areas which have been inaccessible.

An exciting new discovery from Archaeologists in Jerusalem. A biblical character is recorded as having destroyed local temples, one of which was hidden to save it and the artifacts in it. 

Archaeologists have recently revealed the buried bulding they believe to be the mostly a destroyed local temple. It contains floor channels which could have been runaways for blood from sacrifice on an altar. 

An obelisk which was worshipped remains, and evidence of oil. 

The destroyer, Hezekiah, was recorded in the New Testament as being an ancestor of a Jesus.  

I was shocked to read that a leader had destroyed a pagan temple. And destroyed a little local temple in order to promote a larger central temple so that he had control. How many times has this happened in history? Many. 

In the UK and probably elsewhere Roman temples were build on hilltops previously occupied by pagan buildings.  

Nonetheless, a fascinating discovery from long, long ago.
