The Model of Jerusalem in the Second Temple Period
The Second Temple Jerusalem Model recreates the city of 66 CE at the height of its glory; the eve of the great revolt of the Jews against the Romans. The city then stretched over some 450 acres.
The model, measuring some 1,000 square meters, was created by Professor Avi-Yonah, a leading scholar specializing in ancient Jerusalem. Avi-Yona's reconstruction is based on descriptions from Jewish sources, particularly the Mishnah, and the writings of the contemporary historian Flavius Josephus. He also relied on archaeological finds from Jerusalem and from other Roman cities.
At the heart of this impressive city stands the Temple Mount. Kings who built the city, notably the Hasmoneans and their successors, and King Herod and his descendants, were greatly influenced by the Greco-Roman culture. This is clearly reflected in the style of the buildings, and in the layout of the streets; in the holy precinct at the top of the hill; the public water facilities, and other dedicatory monumental buildings as well as in the sports and entertainment facilities.
A closer look reveals the uniquely Jewish character of Jerusalem. First, there is only one sacred precinct - the Temple Mount - with a single temple, to one God. Second, the city has no sculptures, or reliefs depicting human figures and animals, in accordance with the second of the Ten Commandment: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
The magnificence of the city as it replicated in the model did not last for long. In 66 CE the Great Revolt against the Romans broke out, and in 70 CE, after five years of fighting, the city was destroyed and the Temple burnt down.
The proximity of the model to the Shrine of the Book creates a continuum. The Model and the Shrine of the book represent the full spectrum of the various groups and currents that comprised Jewish society at the end of the Second Temple period. The Model reflects the social, economic and political elite, while the story of the separatist groups who rejected a life of luxury and corruption that then characterized the city and its temple is told in The Shrine of the Book. Their literature and spiritual world are reflected in the Dead Sea Scrolls, on display in the Shrine of the Book.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church.
HELLO HELLO 👋 ZAHI 👉🏼🇦🇺

Hello from Malta
Hallelujah hallelujahs hallelujahs hallelujahs hallelujahs hallelujahs hallelujahs God bless you Amen
Beautifully designed space! Oh wow, the city model !!!
Amazing how they moved, rebuilt and enhanced that scale model of Jerusalem from the ‘holy land hotel’ grounds years ago… It’s far more accessible now at the Museum. And new detail being discovered every year, especially in the Gihon area.
Jehovah is great GOD
A clear and comprehensive video on what the city of Jerusalem was like. For me it was informative, I really enjoyed it. Shalom Zahi
You ARE like family! When we toured Israel in 2019 we only had 1 hr in the. Israel Museum. We very much wanted to see this remarkable model but we had no time. THANK YOU, Zahi, for your description and for walking us around the model.
Praise The Lord.... God bless you brother 🙏
Beautiful model.....I can't wait to see it live. When I come to Israel I want you to be my guide.
Another REALLY interesting Video- Thanks for explaining so well. FJ from UK

Thank you Zahi. You know the history so well. I learn something knew every time I watch a tour. Again you make me feel I am right there with you. God bless you!!!❤️💕
No this is not correct...remember Jewish people were scattered for 2000 years and have lost their history!! They do not know the true location...the western wall is the wall of Fort Antonia...jesus said the temple was in the City of David
You show us things in Israel that no one shows us--you are the best! Thank you, dts/usa
Thank you so much sir Zahi ✝️❤️🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Oh my gosh...I can’t believe your encyclopedic knowledge of Jerusalem. This video and your description are mind boggling. I have seen maps, but you have brought this to life. The description of the Essene Monument was very interesting. Yet another outstanding video. Thank you!
Wow, thank you
Amazing model. Thank you for taking us into virtual tour of this. Enjoyed so much and can't wait to visit there in real tour. Always wanna come and see the Holy Sepulchre.
Amazing model, with such detail! Thank you 🙏
I loved this!!! I’d love more old compared to now
Zahi, Thank you for everything that you share. I would love if you would pray for my health, for God Almighty to heal me, and more importantly if you could pray for my family. We just need prayers for God to continue to hold us up and to live for Him. Thank you, and may God Bless you and your family.
You gave such a good perspective of what we were seeing - I had no idea the model was so big 😲 Thank you!
Thank you brother 🙏
for your explanation 💙its very Useful ✨✨✨✨⭐💙
Best guide in Israel 🇮🇱
At the pool of Bethesda which was near the sheep gate having five porticos was where he met a man Paralyzed for 38 years. And Yeshua simply asked him "Do you wish to get well?" He had his excuses but that's not what Yeshua asked him. (We must Listen carefully.) When Yeshua said "pick up your pallet and walk" he was Immediately healed! ❤️ They say the only problem they had was it was on the Sabbath, but we all know it was more than that! ☝🏼🇮🇱
My heart is with israel.i don't want to visit anyother country but my spiritual home thankyou so much.dont think will see it now.in this lifeonly new jerusalem
Thank you for your tour of the wonderful model, including the information about Jesus. 🙏
Thank you brother
Thank you again Zahi. I have always wanted to see a detailed video of Yerushaliym.
YHWH bless you and yours :)
I visited the Israeli Museum to see the Dead Sea scrolls and I spent quite a bit of time looking at this model of Jerusalem. I also recommend the Tower of David in the Old City if you want to see dioramas of the what city looked like 2000 years. It is undergoing renovation but when it is finished it is worth visiting.
Thank you Zahi. I was there in 2018 but it makes sense now with your explanation.😊
Merci infiniment Mr Zahi je voyage à travers votre magnifique vidéo virtuel et je vous en remercie quelle richesse que je ne pourrai jamais voir de mes yeux vue les situations actuelles,que le seigneur soit avec vous Amen 🙏🏻 soyez béni Amen 🙏🏻
Amen
Thank you for bringing to life what the old testament teach about.
Fascinating
The silly part of that is how small the Roman fort is. Josephas who worshiped at the temple and was a Pharisee said when coming from the north you couldn't see the temple because of the Roman fort.
I agree, The Antonio Fort was 3x the size of the model shown. At times it was able to hold 10 to 15 thousand Roman soldiers and their own merchants.
Good Morning 🌻
Hello from Ontario Canada.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

If you are planning a trip to Jerusalem--you need to watch this video before you go...dts/usa
Great tour ! Thank you
Love these videos.
Zahi, desde Bogotá Colombia siempre presente conociendo a través de tus videos este hermoso país.
muchas gracias
Zahi, I wanted to ask you if the museum updates the model if they come across new archaeological discoveries which show that the actual layout was different to the model?
Yes
@@zahishaked That's good, I'm glad they do that!
the Lord God 🙏 Almighty Holy Temple My Body and Soul Spirit and My Salvation Amen.
I like your video.
Thanks
The western wall as it is referred to is the western wall of Fort Antonia. The temple wasn't there. As I remember from history the temple would be around 300 metres west of there and you can follow the wall of the time. Then you will be near to where the temple was. It will be close to the Gihon.
So wrong
@@zahishaked
אני מצטער אבל לא. אני אומר לך את האמת, המקדש אינו נמצא בקרבת החומה המערבית
Am sorry but am not. I tell you the truth, the temple is no where near the western wall.
You can look this up under the historian at the time Josephus. The second temple was utterly destroyed where not one stone was on top of another. This means my brother it was torn down to the very foundations. Or do I need to go to the Tanakh? Those that pray there are praying to the Roman fort Antonia.
I tell you that those of us that know this; we also debate to where it was. My take is it can't be more than 1 km from the Gihon.
But you are free to belief in what you want. That's your right.
It seems like the assumption is that the "Old City" like it is today, built by Suleiman and the Ottomans, was rebuilt almost exactly the same way as it was during the 2nd Temple period..?🤔
I'm not so sure about that.
There is credible evidence that the city was so completely destroyed in 70 AD and even more so again by Hadrian after the Bar Kokhba revolt, that it was completely unrecognisable as a city, fulfilling the prophecy that "not one stone will be left on another".
And seeing as Jews were then banned from the city for about 500 years after that, I highly doubt that any of the rebuilding that took place was based on what existed before 70 AD.
Yes. On the same base
SUPERB
Very beautiful...
It's good the tomb where Jesus resurrected from cannot be found because it would become a shrine for idolatry. God knows it that's why even Moses' tomb is unknown even today.
This is a self-contained city ? Where did they get their water? Did they have a moat surrounding the city, with crocodiles in it?
Roman patron city
The water came from aqueducts
There was no moat at that time
In every other moat in Israel there was no water and no crocodiles
All My thats Beautiful walk there i like all the History Trees Plants flowers do they have healing plants for health and Beauty
Hi Zahi, everything is okay Jerusalem about coronavirus, people using masks 😷 everything is open, how about Airport visitor start to come? Thank Zahi we love you from Australia 🙌🙋🏼♀️
Sadly tourists can't reach Israel
Is there an online version of this model?
no
1900 years... The Jews prayed for 1948!
Was the Ark of the Covenant in the second temple in the Most Holy Place?
Yes
🇮🇱🇧🇷🙏 AMO ISRAEL em BREVE retornarei 🇧🇷🙏🇮🇱
👍🏻
Should have written English sub. you will have more viewers.
There are English sub in that vide, please try again
Wait, did i hear you say The 2nd tomb of Jesus'? What?
Yes. There are 2 options for the tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem. Look for my videos of the church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden tomb
Where do you have mount scopus and is it true that the Jews had a tradition of walking between mount Scopus and mount Morija seven times ?
and that the pilgrims came from Bakka and then shaved their heads ?
I never heard about that tradition
@@zahishaked OK, then I hope this video will inspire you to explore it
because it will be an important narrative in the future to be able to tell.
th-cam.com/video/PQ8izHmb7c8/w-d-xo.html
@@zahishaked I think it might be best to start with this video, then you will gain knowledge about the tradtion.

Where is Hezekiah’s Tunnel
City of David
How in the hell would you know what it looked like ?? Hmm
Archaeological evidence. Reporters of Jews and foreigners. The New Testament and more
Hey, Mordechai ..where r u....
Mordechai who?
It looks like what it is, a cheap Egyptian knock off.
you are wrong the Temple was in the city of David, the ' WESTERN WALL " was part of fort Antonio , and the 10 th ROMAN legion was station there . JESUS said not one stone will stand , so how could the western be part of the Temple
I'm am not going to urge with ignorant like you.
I don’t think the Jews had the ability to build something like this big. I think it was a tent as the first temple was.
Than tou are wrong
Allah almighty our creator says,
*“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the Hellfire).”*
Qur'an 3 (85)
*"In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful."*
This Message is from the slave and Messanger of Allah Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to the Mankind.
Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore
I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin.
(And I recite to you Allah's Statement:)
👉Allah almighty our creator says,
*Say, "O people of the Book! Come to what is common between us and you, that we worship none but Allah; that we associate nothing with Him and that none of us shall make as our Lord any other than Allah."*
*If they reject your invitation, then tell them plainly, "Bear witness that we are Muslims (who worship and surrender to Allah alone)."*
Qur'an (3:64)
👉Allah almighty says,
*Your real Deity is but One. He Who is Lord of the earth and the heavens and of all that is between them, and Lord of all Easts.*
Qur'an (37:5)
Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in the hereafter life.
Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Paradise or hellfire depending upon the good amd bad deeds you did in this world.
👉God Almighty says to the Mankind,
Say(O Prophet),
*“Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.”*
Quran (45:26)
No this is not correct...remember Jewish people were scattered for 2000 years and have lost their history!! They do not know the true location...the western wall is the wall of Fort Antonia...jesus said the temple was in the City of David
Nonsense. Please study before writing something
@@zahishaked please study and read and know what your talking about before you write it makes your ignorance very obvious !! Read God's word
