When you think of Jerusalem what comes to mind? Is it the colorful array of spices and candy on display at Mahane Yehuda? Maybe it’s the animals at the Biblical Zoo, or the notes you put between the Kotel walls? But while you wander the historic streets of Jerusalem, connecting with the historied City of Gold from thousands of years ago, you might be surprised to find out you’ve missed the ancient city.

Most of the Jerusalem we know today was not part of David and Solomon's ancient cities of Jerusalem. Almost 3,000 years ago, King David left Hebron for a small hilltop now known as Jerusalem, establishing it as the kingdom’s capital, and King David’s son, Solomon, built the First Temple near the City of David, making it one of the most important sites in the world!

The LOST TEMPLE Mount- the REAL Location of Solomon's Temple in the City of David, Jerusalem

Where is the real temple mount location in Jerusalem where Solomon originally build the first temple and where the Tabernacle was located? Was the temple located on the Haram Al-Sharif under the Dome of the Rock? Where is the real temple mount? Is the temple located in the City of David? Does the Gihon Spring give us a cue to it's location? What about the excavated area known as the Millo (fill), does this give us a clue? What about Fortress Antonia? Where did the tenth Roman legion of 10,000 soldiers live? Does the writings of Josephus help us on our quest? Is the model located in the Israel Museum even close to accurate or was Fort (Fortress) Antonia actually located on the Harem Al-Sharif? Don takes us on a visual tour from the Mount of Olives and discusses the evidence for the real temple location that was first popularized by Dr. Ernest Martin. As Bible prophecy comes alive, the key to the Temple location is incredibly important to building a final temple. Join Randy Folliard and Don Esposito on this fascinating video tour of the real temple mount.

MAY HAVE UNCOVERED JERUSALEM’S 2,000 YEAR OLD MARKET ALONG THE PILGRIMAGE ROAD IN THE CITY OF DAVID

The top of a rare 2000-year-old measuring table used for liquid items such as wine and olive oil has been discovered in what appears to be a major town square along the Pilgrimage Road in Jerusalem, during excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the City of David National Park. In addition to the measuring table, tens of stone measurement weights were also discovered in the same vicinity. These all support the theory that this was the location of the main city square and market on route to the Temple during the Second Temple Period, in what was historically known as Jerusalem’s lower city * It appears that the market served as the focal point of trade and commerce. * Researchers suggest that this area housed the offices of the Agoranomos - the officer in charge of supervising measurements and weights in the city of Jerusalem

Upper Room Overview Tour, Last Supper, Pentecost, Jerusalem, Israel, Mt. Zion, Holy Land

See an overview of the Upper Room and all that happened before Christ's suffering and crucifixion!
Location
1. The Upper Room is in a second-story building in Jerusalem that commemorates where Jesus shared the Passover (Last Supper) with His disciples.
2. It is located directly above the Tomb of David and near the Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion.
3. It is also called the Cenacle Room, which means “dining room” in Latin.
4. On the first floor of the building is King David’s Tomb. It functions as a synagogue so a head covering for men must be worn. It is divided into three sections: (1) a small synagogue room (2) a men’s viewing area of David’s tomb, and (3) a women’s viewing area of the tomb.
5. The location of David's Tomb is likely just a memorial place as Scripture says he was buried in the City of David (1Kings 2:10).
Historical Background
1. The Upper Room is believed to be the location of the first Christian church.
2. Archaeological research reveals the Upper Room is built on top of a church-synagogue built by the first-century Jewish-Christian community of Jerusalem.
3. The location of the Upper Room has been the traditional site of the Last Supper since the fourth century AD.
4. In the 5th century, the church was referred to as Zion, Mother of all the Churches.”
5. The Upper Room that pilgrims visit today was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century as part of the Church of St. Mary of Zion. The Gothic-era columns seen today were from this time era.
6. The buildings around the Upper Room are remains of a Franciscan medieval friary from around 1335.
7. The Upper Room was transformed into a mosque by the Ottomans in 1524, and a prayer niche is embedded on the south wall, directed towards the Islam cities of Mecca and Medina.
8. The Upper Room building is currently managed by the State of Israel Ministry of the Interior.
9. It’s very likely that the Upper Room was used for more than the Passover meal. It could also have been where Christ appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, where Matthias was appointed the apostle to replace Judas, and where the disciples stayed while waiting for Pentecost. Some believe it’s also where Pentecost happened or began.
10. It seems logical that all these events shared the same Upper Room as the man who allowed Christ to use his large room for the Passover meal was probably a follower of Christ who continued to allow the disciples to use it.

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.

The City of David in 90 Seconds

Come take a 90 second tour of the City of David. See the recent discoveries of the Israel Antiquities Authority, see a clip from our award winning 3D movie, travel back in time through Warren's Shaft and Hezekiah's Tunnel. The City of David is located south of the Temple Mount. In 1800 BCE a well-fortified city was established here because of the Gihon Spring - Jerusalem's only natural water source, and its strategic location - surrounded on all sides by mountains yet protected by deep valleys.

Tours and Attractions at Armon Hanatsiv- City of David

Armon Hanatziv Ridge

The Armon Hanatziv Ridge (in Arabic: Jabel al-Mukaber) is the most prominent ridge in the southern part of ancient Jerusalem. Its height, in comparison to the City of David, perfectly illustrates the words of the Biblical poet: Jerusalem, mountains surround it (Psalms 125:2). The ridge continues as a narrow, long plateau, from the national water divide until the United Nation observers' headquarters -- which was once the British High Commissioner's house. Southeast of the UN observers' headquarters, the ridge soars to its highest peak, named Antenna Hill, its cap measuring 795meters above sea level.

The ridge is the water divide between the upper basin of the Daraja Valley to the south and the upper basin of the Kidron Valley to the north. At the foot of the ridge is the deep channel of Atzal River (Zechariah 14:5), which advances toward the Kidron Valley. Its Biblical name was preserved by the Arabs as Wadi Yasul. North of it and closer to the ancient city is the rocky Ben Hinnom Valley. Although these channels create a topographical separation between the Armon Hanatziv Ridge and the Old City, the ridge is actually only about 2 kilometers as the crow flies from the Temple Mount, which is Mount Moriah. The ridge offers an excellent view of this site, and therefore, the peak is traditionally identified as the point where Abraham looked out, on the third day of his journey, and saw the site where he would bind Isaac in the land of Moriah, as it says: And Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place from afar (Genesis 22:4).

Despite its height and topographical dominance, the strategic significance of the ridge was limited until modern times due to its relatively great distance and topographic separation from the city. Over the course of history, Jerusalem was conquered time after time through the territories that dominate the northern and western sides of the city. Only during World War I did the situation change, and the ridge was first considered part of the British power base, before General Allenby entered the city on the 11th of December, 1917. In 1933, the High Commissioner's house was inaugurated. However, the British only enjoyed the lavish headquarters that represented their sovereignty for 15 years. Just a day before the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel, on the 4th of Iyar, 5708 (May 13, 1948), the British abandoned the house and left the city. The Red Cross took over the building but did not prevent the soldiers of the Jordanian Arab Legion from taking control of the ridge.

On the night between the 17th and 18th of August, 1948, a battalion from the Etzioni Brigade under the command of Meir Zorea, later a general in the IDF, attacked the western portion of the ridge. Their goal was to improve the IDF's hold on the southeastern part of the city. The territory was conquered without opposition and the forces held the exposed area at the foot of Armon Hanatziv. The Arabs hurried to launch a counter-attack, using artillery and taking advantage of their topographic advantage. The UN observers, who had already entered Armon Hanatziv at that time, did not attempt to stop them. The Israeli forces, left exposed in the rocky terrain and without strategic positions or shelter, suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to retreat. The price of this failed attack was very dear: 14 casualties, 24 wounded and 5 soldiers taken captive by the Jordanians.
On October 1, 1948, the Red Cross left Armon Hanatziv without notifying Israel, and the UN observers set up their headquarters at the site.

During the Six Day War, the Arab Legion took control of the site and began to shell the Jewish portion of the partitioned city. This aggression forced the IDF to open a third front in addition to its battles with the Egyptian and Syrian armies. The conquest of the Armon Hanatziv Ridge on the evening of the 26th of Iyar, 5727 (June 5, 1967) began the battle that ended in the liberation of the entire city of Jerusalem and in its wake, all of the territories in Judea and Samaria.
In 1972, the neighborhood of east Talpiyot whose population today (2008) totals 12,000, was established on the southern end of the Armon Hanatziv Ridge.

A seal bearing a name that appears in the Bible was discovered in the City of David

A rare and exciting discovery: A bulla (seal impression) and a 2,600-year-old stamp bearing Hebrew names were uncovered in the City of David. The artifacts were discovered inside a public building that was destroyed during the destruction of the First Temple and were uncovered in archaeological excavations of the Givati Parking Lot in the City of David National Park in Jerusalem. The dig was conducted by archeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University.
According to Prof. Yuval Gadot of Tel Aviv University and Dr. Yiftah Shalev of the Israel Antiquities Authority who were responsible for the dig, these special artifacts were found inside a large public building, that was destroyed in the sixth century BCE - likely during the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. Large stone debris, burnt wooden beams and numerous charred pottery shards were discovered in the building, all indications that they had survived an immense fire. The importance of this building can be discerned, among other things, from its size, the finely cut ashlar stones from which it was built and the quality of the architectural elements found in the layers of destruction - for example, remnants of a polished plaster floor, which had collapsed and caved into the floor below.
The stamp and bulla, which are about one centimeter in size, were deciphered by Dr. Anat Mendel-Geberovich of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Center for the Study of Ancient Jerusalem, who, according to the script, dates them to the middle of the seventh century to the beginning of the sixth century BCE.
The seal impression, dated to the First Temple period, features the words: “(belonging) to Nathan-Melech, Servant of the King” (LeNathan-Melech Eved HaMelech). The name Nathan-Melech appears once in the Bible, in the second book of Kings 23:11, where he is described as an official in the court of King Josiah, who took part in the religious reform that the king was implementing: “And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the officer, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.”

The title “Servant of the King” (Eved HaMelech) is appears often in the Bible to describe a high-ranking official close to the king. This title appears on other stamps and seal impressions that were found in the past. This seal impression is the first archaeological evidence of the name Biblical Nathan-Melech.

Dr. Mendel-Geberovich notes that the fact that this official was mentioned by his first name alone indicates that he was known to all, and there was no need to add his family lineage.

According to Mendel-Geberovich, “Although it is not possible to determine with complete certainty that the Nathan-Melech who is mentioned in the Bible was in fact the owner of the stamp, it is impossible to ignore some of the details that link them together.”
Bullae were small pieces of clay impressed by personal seals, used in ancient times to sign letters. While the parchment that they sealed didn’t survive the fires that devastated ancient Jerusalem, the bullae, which are made of ceramic-like material, were preserved, leaving evidence of the correspondence and those behind them.
A stamp-seal was also in discovered the same place, made of bluish agate stone, engraved with the name - “(belonging) to Ikar son of Matanyahu” (LeIkar Ben Matanyahu). According to Dr. Mendel-Geberovich, “The name Matanyahu appears both in the Bible and on additional stamps and bullae already unearthed. However, this is the first reference to the name “Ikar,” which was unknown until today.” She believes that despite the literal meaning of Ikar which is farmer, it most likely refers to a private individual with that name as opposed to a description of his occupation. It is still unclear who this person was. Private stamps were used to sign documents, and were often set in signet rings carried by their owners. In ancient times these stamps noted the identity, lineage and status of their owners.
