2,100-year-old wall around Jerusalem discovered

A fascinating archaeological discovery was made in Jerusalem recently! Israeli archaeologists unearthed a Jerusalem perimeter wall dating back to 70 AD. Apparently this is the wall that the Romans went through when they sacked Israel and destroyed the Temple. The 10.5 foot tall wall is one mile larger in circumference than the present wall around Jerusalem’s old city.
