Недавние раскопки в Иерусалиме revealed revealed an ancient stone path believed to connect the Jewish Temple with the Pool of Siloam, a landmark where, according to legend, Jesus healed a blind man. This path, with a history of 2000 years, was built during the Second Temple period by order of King Herod the Great. Archaeological findings have sparked great interest, as they could confirm Jesus's presence at the site, offering new clues about his history.
Excavations have revealed huge stone slabs that were part of this path, which had been buried under debris and other constructions for centuries. It is estimated that these slabs, each weighing two and a half tons, were part of the Pilgrimage Route in the City of David. Experts believe that Jesus may have walked on these stones more than 2000 years ago.
According to historical records, the Pool of Siloam, built 2,700 years ago, played a crucial role in the water system that supplied Jerusalem since the 8th century BC. Archaeologists point out that this structure has gone through multiple construction phases over time. Recent findings supported by the Society of Biblical Archaeology have confirmed the presence of the steps that Jesus may have traversed in the area.
Despite numerous studies, many aspects of Jesus's life remain an enigma. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) has issued a statement confirming the discovery in the Har Hotzvim neighborhood. It is expected that this archaeological and biblical site will be open to the public in the coming months, allowing visitors to explore and learn more about the history of this ancient stone route and its possible connection to the figure of Jesus.
