SHLOMIT WEKSLER-BDOLAH - Herodian Jerusalem in Light of New Finds from the Western Wall Tunnels

Lecture starts at 4:15 mins, and is followed by a Q&A session.
This lecture explores recent discoveries made in tunnels at the foot of the Herodian Temple Mount in Jerusalem. There was intensive construction in this area during the late Second Temple period (1st century BCE to 1st century CE), and finds seem to support historic accounts of the civic nature of this part of the city.
These major construction works were designed to shape the urban topography of ancient Jerusalem - draining the area, and adorning it with impressive buildings. But who was behind this work? City leaders? Or perhaps even the king?
