After six years of extensive archaeological excavations led by the Israel Antiquities Authority, a 350-meter-long section of the Pilgrimage Road was unveiled at a festive ceremony in the City of David.
The road served as the main thoroughfare for pilgrims walking from the Pool of Siloam, where they would ritually purify themselves, en route to the Holy Temple during the Second Temple Period.

Very cool.
I wonder what other incredible finds we will have over the next years and decades.
Digging up (literally) the past is so cool.
Finding is not the problem
Changing the views of entrenched Jewish and Christian scholars to accept the reality is the problem
I got to see this while it was still under construction when I went to Israel two years ago.
Well I was just referring to the history being dug up and discovered part.
I’ll leave the more difficult issues to those much brighter than me :)
My bucket list just got one item longer. The wife would go ecstatic to walk this road.
Thanks for the info.
You made my point
There is a large body of evidence that the Temples never existed on the Temple Mount and the wall is not and never was a part of either temple.
The archeological architedtural evidence is very convincing
I’m a You Tube Scholar : )

If the Pool of Siloam is in the City of David, and that’s where the Temple actually was, interesting.
Just think how nuts the Muslims will be if Isreael says “Ah, the Temple was here. We’ll rebuild it and you can keep your ‘Temple Mount.’”
Cup of trembling indeed.
You are right.
Archaeological evidence does not lie!!
That sounded good and I believe it but I am SO ignorant, I am not sure which Temples and which Wall you are referring to.
I could have lied and said I agreed, but i don’t mind people finding out how little I know anymore :)
And I am now curious as to what you are alluding to.
Thanks ahead of time.
Well, I recently saw an extensive You Tube video describing the existing Temple mount and it’s history. It describes the probable location of the lost temples based on existing evidence.

The findings are pretty much contrary to what we think we know but very plausible. We includes Christians, Jews and Muslims
Years ago, circa 1996, I was asked to help a Sunday school class develop a model of “The Temple” The problem was my knowledge was superficial and I needed to study to be sure I got it right. It was a fantastic opportunity to research on the new internet to see what I could discover. The model still exists and is dragged out and dusted off still today.
Any way, since that time I have had an interest in the Temple. I found this video to be very interesting and an insight into what might be reality. In retrospect, watching the You Tube video was in effect a continuation of the original study I guess
That’s actually a great story.
I shall check out the site.
Thanks :)
I spent 10 days in the
Old City,
Absolutely Fascinating!
There is no archeological evidence that Solomon's Temple existed at all.
Our group was there for 15 days, 6 of which were in Jerusalem.
VERY cool!
Riiiiiight, and the modern Jews are descended from the Khazars, and Jesus is fictional. The Waqf has been systematically removing and dumping all the pre-muzzie artifacts from the Mount for decades now.
No need to reach that conclusion.
YouTube can be useful, and is generally entertaining, but the campaign to disconnect the Jews from the Israelites and Hebrews and their homeland goes back centuries.
Maybe so, maybe not
but here’s a link to some much older and still needlessly controversial Biblical history - the research documented by Dr. Walt Brown and his hydroplate theory [replaces plate tectonics and much much more of modern day science] is truly astounding and a great work of apologetics.
