In the holy city of Jerusalem an elusive Biblical wall has been found very recently. A team of archaeologists unearthed this ancient and prized treasure. According to scholars, the wall has been mentioned in the Biblical book of Nehemiah.
This discovery was made in the ancient part of the Jerusalem city known as David. Things like pottery, shards as well as arrowheads have been found in this archaeological site. Although most scholars think that the wall is biblical, some scholars have other opinions about the same. The Chapters 3-6 in the Book of Nehemiah talks about the existence of such a wall.
The excavation was done in multiple phases with the first phase of excavation being completed in the year 2005. During this particular dig, it is believed that the remains of the King David’s palace has been unearthed. At least, that’s what Eilat Mazar,the head of the Institute of Archeology at the Shalem center believes.
As always, the scholars and their discoveries often contradict and triggers of disputes. In this case, the discovery and it’s scope has been much disputed the significance of the discovery. Nevertheless, this is an ‘interesting find’. I think that this discovery helped us get a better understanding of the biblical period.
