Join us as we step onto the very stones of 'The Ancient Pilgrimage Road Jesus Walked.' In this episode, we explore the extraordinary archaeological discoveries of the City of David in Jerusalem, focusing on the magnificent 2,000-year-old street connecting the Pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount.

Uncovered after centuries, this paved road—constructed during the time of Pontius Pilate—was the bustling heart of Second Temple Jerusalem. We delve into the sources to understand its dual role as a grand commercial artery, lined with shops and mikvahs (ritual baths), and a sacred path used by millions of Jewish pilgrims for ritual purification and ascent to the Temple.

This journey also reveals dramatic evidence of the city's final days. We'll discuss the poignant discoveries made in the massive drainage channels beneath the road, where rebels and families desperately sought refuge during the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. From the engineering marvels of the excavation to the daily lives and social conflicts of ancient Jerusalem, this episode offers a profound look at a road that shaped history and faith.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

Welcome to this week’s archaeological digest on The Ancient Path. Join your hosts, Ethan and Sarah, as we dust off the layers of history to reveal extraordinary findings from the Holy Land that bridge the gap between ancient life and modern faith.

• The Pilgrim's Rest: We journey south to the Negev’s Nitzana National Park. Archaeologists have unveiled a magnificent Byzantine church, rich with colorful mosaics. Learn why this site was a crucial spiritual anchor for pilgrims trekking toward Mount Sinai.
