The Missing Section of the First Temple Wall of Jerusalem was Exposed at the City of David

Dr. Uziel and Dr. Yukosavovic are studying recent excavations of the 1^st temple period in the City of David.  

Portions of the defensive wall around the city remain in a relatively intact condition and provide a wealth of information about daily life in the city prior to the Babylonian invasion on the 9^th of Av in 586 BCE. 

Artifacts have been uncovered at the site, which accurately identify the time period.  They also provide evidence about the bureaucracy of the 1^st temple government. The ruins are located in the City of David National Park in the environs of Jerusalem.
