The Broad Wall is an ancient defensive wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. The wall was unearthed in the 1970s by Israeli architect Nahman Avigad and dated to the reign of King Hezekiah (late eighth century BCE).
About Hezekiah's Broad Wall - Jerusalem
A biblical wall from 2700 years ago with a great story!
The Broad Wall
The refugees that came to Jerusalem from the collapsing kingdom of Israel in 721 BCE built their homes in an unsettled area on the city's western hill, and King Hezekiah had to protect this area from Sennacherib's army ahead of the Assyrian siege. This video shows the massive wall that Hezekiah built, a portion of which was uncovered in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem by archaeologist Nahman Avigad. At the foot of the wall are the remains of private dwellings that were demolished during its construction, an action that angered the prophet Isaiah.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

Routes Uncovered: Jerusalem Walls
HOLY LAND UNCOVERED | Jerusalem is one of the most iconic cities in the world, and one of its biggest icons is its walls. Built during the Ottoman period, the city walls protected the city from intruders, helped collect taxes and also became an architectural element to beautify the city. Our Uri Shapira has the story.
Story:
Jerusalem is a city of contradictions. For thousands of years, it's been a source of holiness, dispute, inspiration and struggle. Some of the most iconic images of the city are the walls that surround it.
Jaffa Gate is the main entrance to the Old City today. In the 16th century C.E., Suliman the Magnificent, ruler of the Ottoman Empire, decided to build a wall around the city of Jerusalem. It took him only four years to build it. The main reason was that he used recycled stones and didn’t carve new ones.
The Ottoman built the wall for several purposes: the main one being protection from intruders. For that reason, choosing the right location was crucial.
Instead of wearing armor and helmets, Turkish guards wore light outfits to avoid accidents. The wall also contains some architectural elements to assist the guards.
It is only possible to see from from above how dense and narrow the Old City of Jerusalem is — a highly significant site for all the Abrahamic religions.
The city is currently divided into four quarters: Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Aramaic.

Biblical Tour of Israel Day 4 David's city, Hezekiah's tunnel, Western wall
Žiūrėti su vertimu į lietuvių kalbą:
The City of David is the birthplace of the city of Jerusalem, the place where King David established his kingdom, and where the history of the People of Israel was written. It is within walking distance from the Old City of Jerusalem and the Western Wall, and is one of the most exciting sites in Israel. Visitors come from all over the world to see the strongest physical connection between the stories of the Bible and reality, the place where the Holy City started. Hezekiah's Tunnel Gihon Spring The Gihon Spring The only spring in Jerusalem, the Gihon is a siphonic, karstic spring, and its name means “gushing”; it surges and the sound can be easily heard. It is estimated that the Gihon could have supported a population of about 2,500. The cave is a natural one, but it has been widened. Solomon was anointed at the Gihon Spring while his brother, Adonijah, was attempting to take the throne through a surreptitious coronation at En Rogel (1 Kgs 1). The Tunnel A 1750-foot (530m) tunnel carved during the reign of Hezekiah to bring water from one side of the city to the other, Hezekiah's Tunnel together with the 6th c. tunnel of Euphalios in Greece are considered the greatest works of water engineering technology in the pre-Classical period. Had it followed a straight line, the length would have been 1070 ft (335m) or 40% shorter. Going beyond the Court of the Gentiles stood the magnificent 60 foot wide Gate Beautiful mentioned in Acts 3:2,10. It was identified by some scholars as the Gate Shusan because it contained a beautifully sculptured relief of the city of Susa. During the time of the morning and evening sacrifices this great entrance was the place of public worship. Largest Stone -An especially large course of stones is visible on the southern and western walls today. On the west the Master Course consists of four stones, the largest of which weighs 570 tons and is 44 feet long, 10 feet high and 12-16 feet deep. The next largest stone in the wall is a mere 40 feet long. The largest stone in the Great Pyramid weighs 11 tons. The Broad Wall Reconstruction work following the 1967 war allowed archaeologists to excavate various areas in the Jewish Quarter. One of the most significant finds from the OT period was the Broad Wall. Built by Hezekiah in the days before the 701 B.C. invasion by the Assyrian king Sennacherib, the Broad Wall enclosed the Western Hill and increased the walled area of Jerusalem five-fold. St. Stephen's Gate This gate is so named because of the tradition that the first Christian martyr was stoned outside this gate. However an earlier tradition locates this execution north of the city. Lions' Gate is another name for this eastern entrance into the Old City because of the four animals that decorate the gate's facade and reportedly placed there because of a dream of the builder Suleiman. Golden Gate This sealed gate on the eastern side was built approximately AD 640 either by the last of the Byzantine rulers or by the first of the Arab conquerers. Tradition that equates this gate with the one mentioned in Ezekiel's prophecy (ch. 44) is dubious at best. Leen Ritmeyer believes that an earlier gate is preserved underneath the current gate. Dung Gate Different theories account for the naming of this gate, including one which puts it back to Omar's conquest of Jerusalem in 638 A.D. when trash was cleared out of the city through this gate. It is also known as the Gate of the Moors because of the North African immigrants who lived in a neighborhood next to the gate in the 16th century.

The Arch of Titus and the Temple Menorah From Jerusalem to Rome and back
Using breathtaking animation, The Arch of Titus reconstructs the triumphal procession in which Titus marched the vast amount of booty taken from Jerusalem in 70 CE, including the golden menorah from the Temple, through the streets of Rome. A picture of the menorah being carried by Roman troops was carved on a monumental victory arch in Rome 2000 years ago, and since then it has been a symbol of degradation and oppression for the Jewish people. The film follows the dramatic events that turned the Arch of Titus into a symbol of freedom and liberty, and the captive menorah into the official symbol of the State of Israel.

Amazing video of the Western Wall
In Judaism, the Western Wall is venerated as the sole remnant of the Holy Temple. It has become a place of pilgrimage for Jews, as it is the closest permitted accessible site to the holiest spot in Judaism, namely the Even ha-shetiya or Foundation Stone, which lies on the Temple Mount. According to one rabbinic opinion, Jews may not set foot upon the Temple Mount and doing so is a sin punishable by Kareth. While almost all historians and archaeologists and some rabbinical authorities believe that the rocky outcrop in the Dome of the Rock is the Foundation Stone,[88] some rabbis say it is located directly opposite the exposed section of the Western Wall, near the El-kas fountain.[89] This spot was the site of the Holy of Holies when the Temple stood.
Jewish tradition teaches that the Western Wall was built by King Solomon and that the wall we see today is built upon his foundations, which date from the time of the First Temple.[90] Jewish midrashic texts compiled in Late Antiquity refer to a western wall of the Temple which would never be destroyed.[2] Some scholars were of the opinion that this referred to a wall of the Temple itself which has long since vanished. Others believed that the wall still stood and was actually a surviving wall of the Temple courtyard. However, today there is no doubt that the wall is the western retaining wall of the Temple Mount and the Midrash refers to the Temple in its broader sense, that is, the Temple Mount.[12] Jewish sources teach that when Roman Emperor Vespasian ordered the destruction of the Temple, he ordered Pangar, Duke of Arabia, to destroy the Western Wall. Pangar however could not destroy the wall because of God's promise that the Wall will never be destroyed. When asked by Titus why he did not destroy it, Pangar replied that it would stand as a reminder of what Titus had conquered. He was duly executed.[91] There is a tradition that states that when water starts trickling through the stones of the Wall, it is a signal of the advent of the Messiah.[92]
Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kaindenover discusses the mystical aspect of the Hebrew word kotel when discussing the significance of praying against a wall. He cites the Zohar which writes that the word kotel, meaning wall, is made up of two parts: Ko, which has the numerical value of God's name, and Tel, meaning mount, which refers to the Temple and its Western Wall.[93]
Jewish sources, including the Zohar, write that the Divine Presence rests upon the Western Wall.[94] The Midrash quotes a 4th century scholar: Rav Acha said that the Divine Presence has never moved away from the Western Wall.[95] 18th century scholar Jonathan Eybeschutz writes that after the destruction of the Temple, God removed His Presence from His sanctuary and placed it upon the Western Wall where it remains in its holiness and honour.[96] It is told that great Jewish sages, including Isaac Luria and the Radvaz, experienced a revelation of the Divine Presence at the wall
On these stones Jesus actually walked. An Archaeological evidence! Temple Mount, Jerusalem
On these stones, Jesus actually walked!!!
Today we are visiting the Southern Wall of Temple Mount.
At the southwest corner of the Temple Mount, there are stones that were installed here some 2000 years ago and were uncovered in the 1990s. If we look around we can see sets of shops and vendors stands correlated to the time frame of the 1st century. Archeological findings show that in this area, Jewish people who came to Jerusalem on a pilgrimage to the Temple used to gather here before entering the temple area. Jesus was such a person. A Jew who came to Jerusalem to visit the temple and maybe also to make an offering to God.
Another beautiful day on the walls of Jerusalem.
