Look what we’ve dug up next to Temple Mount

In summer excavations 50 meters from Temple Mount, Hebrew University of Jerusalem archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar discovered 36 gold Byzantine coins, jewelry, and a 7th century gold medallion depicting a menorah (Temple candelabrum), a shofar (ram’s horn) and a Torah scroll. As Dr Mazar says “At Rosh Hashana, it’s the best gift we could get”.
