The city of David is an archaeological site situated in Jerusalem. It is considered to be one of the most important historical and biblical sites in the world. The area is believed to be the original city center of ancient Jerusalem and also holds a religious and historical significance for the Jewish people.

Archaeological excavations at the City of David have unveiled numerous artifacts, structures, and ancient remains, shedding light on the city's rich history. Among the discoveries are ancient fortifications, water systems, tunnels, residential areas, palaces, administrative buildings, and religious structures.

The Hebrew Bible refers to the City of David as the city King David conquered and made the capital of the Kingdom of Israel in the tenth century BCE. The complex, which extends southward from the Temple Mount, includes the hill where the ancient city originally stood. It is located halfway between the Tyropoeon Valley and the Kidron Valley.

Today, the City of David is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who come to explore its ancient ruins, walk through its narrow tunnels, and learn about the rich history and religious significance of the site. Excavations and ongoing research continue to provide new insights into the ancient past of Jerusalem and its significance in the religious and cultural heritage of the Jewish people.

In this episode, Part 2, we will be touring Hezekiah's Tunnel, the Canaanite tunnel, Jerusalem’s ancient city walls, the Siloam inscription, the Pool of Siloam/Shiloah, the central drainage channel, the Givati parking lot dig, and more!

    I pray that I live long enough to merit walking from the pool filled with water again all the way up to the western wall along the restored street. I was 5 in 1967, and I remember my father walking with me in the streets of the old city just after it was liberated. I remember walking into the golden dome as a child, before Jews were banned.
