News summary

Archaeologists have unearthed a significant quarry in southeastern Jerusalem, believed to have supplied stones for the ancient Pilgrim’s Road, a path where Jesus and his disciples walked. The site spans approximately 37,600 square feet and features stones that match those found at the nearby Pilgrim’s Road, known for its biblical significance, including the healing of a blind man by Jesus. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) noted that the stones share identical sizes, depths, and geological signatures, confirming their connection to the road leading to the Jewish Temple. IAA co-leaders Michael Chernin and Lara Shilov stated that it is reasonable to assume some stones from the quarry were intended for use in paving Jerusalem's streets during that era. Once fully excavated, the site will be preserved for public viewing, illustrating the technological advancements in stone shaping used in ancient times. This discovery highlights the historical significance of the area in relation to biblical events and the infrastructure of ancient Jerusalem.
