King David's Legendary Citadel

05-23-2014 • arclein

Shukron's dig, which began in 1995, uncovered a massive fortification of five-ton stones stacked 21 feet (6 meters) wide. Pottery shards helped date the fortification walls to be 3,800 years old. They are the largest walls found in the region from before the time of King Herod, the ambitious builder who expanded the Second Jewish Temple complex in Jerusalem almost 2,100 [ 3100 rather – arclein ] years ago. The fortification surrounded a water spring and is thought to have protected the ancient city's water source.
