The largest ancient quarry ever discovered in Jerusalem has been revealed by archaeologists. The excavation site in Jerusalem’s Har Hotzvim industrial area spans 3,500-square meters and reveals just a small portion of the massive quarry. Archaeologists have dated the quarry around the Second Temple Era and believe many of the large slabs of stone were used for King Herod’s construction projects during the first century BC. One such project would include the 2,000-year-old Pilgrimage Road, a road that Jesus and His disciples would have walked. The road connects the Pool of Siloam, where Jesus healed a blind man in John 9, with the Jewish Temple.
