Older Wall of Jerusalem Old City Excavated

Yehiel Zelinger, an archaeologist from Israel, has reported to have dug out 2100 year old wall around Jerusalem on Mount Zion at the southern edge of Jerusalem's Old City, dating back to the Second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70.

It is a period corresponding to 72 AD, the beginning of Saka Calendar, the official calendar of Republic of India.

The excavated wall was longer than the present wall surrounding the Jerusalem Old City.

The above report is published by Reuter and reproduced in the Tribune, Chandigarh.
