Excavating Mt. Zion: Past, Present and Future - DVD by James D. Tabor

Biblical Archaeology Society

As co-director of "Dig Mt. Zion", the first archaeological excavation project to be allowed just outside the southern Old City wall in 30 years, Professor James D. Tabor offers a glimpse of this prime property of ancient Jerusalem.  This is not where Jesus walked, but where the priests and the aristocrats of Jesus' time lived:  Joseph Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate and Joseph of Arimathea, to name a few.  Learn the history of traditional Mt. Zion, the higher hill west of the ancient City of David.  See amazing finds including a cistern from the Islamic period and a Byzantine mosaic floor.  Hear the plans for a new fascinating attraction to be developed around this historic site.
