An ancient Jerusalem wall unearthed
The remains of a city wall of Jerusalem from the time of the Second Temple were uncovered.
The recent discovery, made public Wednesday, is part of a year-and-a-half-long excavation under way on Mount Zion.
The 2,100-year-old wall was destroyed during the Great Revolt against the Romans that began in 66 C.E. It was previously uncovered by an American archeologist at the end of the 19th century.
Also uncovered were the remains of a city wall from the Byzantine period, built on top of the Second Temple wall.
