Tour Details
Right by Mount Scopus & at the foot of Mount Olive sits Emek Zurim National Park, the site of an archaeological dig for remains of the Second Temple Period. From 530 BCE to 70 CE, the Second Temple Period, Jerusalem was defined by an era of growth & prosperity. Though much of the infrastructure is gone, you still have the chance to find artifacts from this magnificent time in Jerusalem history. As you sift through the actual, ancient remains from the Temple Mount, keep your eyes peeled for items like old decorations or coins. You may just make a discovery of biblical proportions!
