Archaeologists have discovered a quarry where stones were carved out to pave the streets of ancient Jerusalem in the days of Yeshua the Messiah. The stones were constructed to build the ancient Pilgrim’s Road, a 2,000-year-old stepped stone path where Yeshua and His disciples are said to have roamed.
Pilgrimage Street is believed to be the street leading to the Pool of Siloam where Yeshua healed a blind man, which also led to the ancient Jewish Temple where Yeshua would have prayed.
The site was discovered on the southeast side of Jerusalem and extends about 37,600 square feet, making it one of the largest and most significant quarries ever found in Jerusalem.
The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) uncovered numerous building stones at the site, that matched those found at another excavated site two miles away, named Pilgrimage Road, or Pilgrim’s Road.
The researchers found that the road, which once connected the City of David to the Jewish Temple, had paving slabs that were the same size and thickness as those at the building site. They reported that the stone slabs at both sites also had identical markings from cutting trenches around the rock and extracting it from the ground. (DM / VFI News)
