The City of David: Jerusalem's Original Neighborhood
Long before the Temple Mount or the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem was a small hilltop settlement called the City of David. In this episode, Lucas and Luna walk through the narrow ridge south of today's Old City, exploring the archaeological layers of the original Bronze and Iron Age town. They discuss the crucial Gihon Spring, the massive fortifications built by the Canaanites, and the ongoing controversy over the site's identification with King David's capital. They examine the excavations of Eilat Mazar and the debates about the Large Stone Structure, the Stepped Stone Structure, and the so-called 'David's Palace.' They also touch on the Siloam Tunnel and the Pool of Siloam, connecting back to Hezekiah's water system from episode 4. The conversation highlights how this small, vulnerable site grew from a Jebusite stronghold to the core of biblical Jerusalem, and why it remains a flashpoint for archaeological and political disputes today.
