Shalom 👋 Danny… watching here in USA 🇺🇸. It’s almost midnight 🙃. Thank you for the adventures. Love Israel. Praying for the Shalom of Jerusalem, where God’s NAME dwells. God bless 🙏
Keep up the great work! It is very much appreciated. By the way, as an American Christian I would also be interested in hearing about Jewish history. Thanks for sharing.
I remember as a little child going to the back of my Bible and just staring at the maps of Jerusalem from all eras and stages of development with the different wall locations. Danny, thank you, for making sense of those diagrams. I had no reference until you vlogged about all these different sites and locations. I am excited with you concerning your recent illumination concerning the garden of Uzzah. The garden tomb vlog you did was extraordinarily entertaining and meaningful. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Danny...I’ve been to both places I felt that the garden tomb was the actual tube that they laid Jesus it just makes so much sense to me. Thank you for this map it really helps. Blessings🙋♀️
You would be incorrect, the Garden Tomb was carved in the Iron Age, 600 years before Jesus lived. The Garden, cistern and olive press all date to the crusades. There is a ZERO PERCENT chance that it is the tomb of Jesus.
Thank you so much brother Danny! You explained it so well! I've never heard it like this before. I am do thankful that I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ! ❤🕊😊
Thank you, so much for the honesty with your presentations. As you know, my brother we serve The Lord Of Righteousness, thus Truth, for His Word isTruth. So Danny, by your honesty and truth seeking you show honesty and honor to The Lord Jesus Christ, whom is One with the Father. Truly The Lord our God, The Lord is One.. Thank you Danny, see you soon
Being a Christian and a lover of truth, you would think that any group of people would follow the truth no matter where it takes you. Thank you Danny for your insights.
Excellent Danny. That’s the first time I’ve seen anyone explain that. My CSB map of the ancient city does indeed show the changed line of the second wall, keeping the traditional site outside the city wall. When are you scheduling tours again?
My pleasure 😇. And I’m ready to take orders any time! In fact my March is nearly completely full! I offer a wide selection of private tours, starting at $600 dannythedigger.com
Hi Danny. This a truly a fascinating series you are bringing to us. Really enjoyable. A point I would like to make that you will be well aware of but it's very significant also. Surely the church of the holy sepulchre was outside the walls of the city in the time of Jesus given the fact they are Jewish tombs in the holy sepulchre. This must be proof that this area was indeed outside the city walls at that time. Keep up the excellent work! 🇬🇧✡️🕎🇮🇱
I’m just discovering your videos Danny the digger. Thank you for your teachings So insightful and heart felt and interesting as well!! I hope to visit Israel some day soon! May God bless your work. Shalom
Thanks Danny. So interesting that some archaeological evidence points to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and some to the Garden Tomb. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to find out. But one thing our tour guide said a lot comes back to me in situations like this is that he would say for certain locations that “it was either here or near”. As much as I think it would be great to know the exact location we do know it was in Jerusalem and knowing that we are walking in the same city that King David, Solomon, Jesus etc., walked in is still so amazing. One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee. What a promise for those who love and pray for Jerusalem.
You would be incorrect, the Garden Tomb was carved in the Iron Age, 600 years before Jesus lived. The Garden, cistern and olive press all date to the crusades. There is a ZERO PERCENT chance that it is the tomb of Jesus.
Danny, great job as always! Most interesting. Next time I'm in Jerusalem (sadly no time soon) I would love to meet you and hire you to give me a tour. Keep up the good work. So much fun to see and hear about the places I visited on my two previous trips.
Even so, this is where our Savior lived and died and rose again. Just as you Danny believe undoubtedly where the Holy temple once stood. Blind faith and walls to see. We believe. God bless, Shalom
Since there are Jewish kokh tombs in the area of Holy Sepulchre, a second wall may have excluded the tombs to avoid including them within the city boundary. That could account for the sudden bend in the wall.
Hi Dan. Appreciate great effort and time put in your sharing. Like to add on your 9 feb on the Tomb in the garden. Outside the tomb where trough and outside tomb wall are, you can find old roman's iron brackets (its confirmed that came and during that era) are used to 'lock or seal' it. You can find the round marking about 8 ft or more where the rolling door are unclosed. The trough is a guide passage where to close the tomb. Joseph. the rich believer asked for His body and he placed there as its was close to Sabbath and accordingly to the Word of God, its was an unused tomb (meant for his own- Joseph). As for the ARK, animals blood were sprinkled on the east side, when High priest went inside the Holy of Holies. Jesus blood can NEVER be mixed with animals blood. Like the tomb too. (Late Ron Wyatt found the Ark below the Skull and tested the findings in Israel lab during his time there). Zachariah cave is not too far from Garden Tomb and inside where you can find certain part of the wall is completely sealed. I believe the Ark was taken away from the skull by Israel authority (ready for the 3rd temple very soon) from there and late Ron was unable to see when he returned back to explore further. Shalom.
Done a lot of digging and a good friend of Ron at a conference in Phoenix provided with Ron the papers from the lab. Before they would let Ron speak at the event they had to prove the lab results were authentic so they brought their expert. Each lab finding is numbered and on Ron’s papers proving the blood of Jesus they found that the numbers were legit and matched with their own records. This is just one example as to why I believe Ron not to mention he was the most humble and faithful man to God ever. He was not out for fame or money.
I never liked the shrines around the "holy" sites. They have made idols to sites that are uncertain. I wish we knew where everything really was, but they have gone too far. Good video.
Completely agree with you. If you just build a church or building over it then preserve the site, don’t cover it up!!! A good example is Jacob’s well. It was left alone until the 1970’s when the Catholic Church decided to build a monstrosity over it. Instead of preserving the location they obliterated it and now you walk down in a basement to see a cement hole where the well is. Look it up, you can still find pictures of how it used to look. My point is the Catholics have done this everywhere. It’s criminal actually.
Thank you!! I have always looked at that sharp cornered wall on the maps and thought, "That is just too "specific", too "perfect" for the purpose of upholding the Holy Sepulchre theory. I always thought, "The wall just all of a sudden dropping down from the north, making a sharp turn west, and then reconnecting to the southern end, it just seems very unusual - Why would they decide to cut so much northern land space out in such a very structured and specific way? Why would the architects, who are building the wall westward, then all of a sudden decide to go south so specifically and sharply, only to then reconnect to the southwestern end after making yet another sharp turn?" It doesn't make sense to me at all. It was always my thought that they could have much easily continued building the wall westward and carried it down at a curve toward the southern connection point (somewhat like the way you drew it on your whiteboard Danny). Albeit, I don't know the exact topography of the land, and perhaps it was not possible to build the wall that way. Or perhaps they were prevented from building a curved wall due to tombs being in the area and they couldn't have them inside the city. Regardless, it still doesn't make sense to me. Then what you said about your Christian friend who "didn't want you saying anything about the find of a possible 2nd wall in the back of his shop because he supports the Holy Sepulchre theory" exactly solidifies my thoughts and opinions that the Catholic Church preferred to create their own version of things rather than look at the actual evidence and acknowledge the reality. I am not trying to insult anyone by saying that. I am simply stating my opinion. Based on what you have said in this vlog - It is my thought that the early church fathers determined for themselves where the crucifiction and burial of Christ occured, and despite any other evidence produced, they have maintained that tradition ever since - even by "creating an imaginary wall" to fit their narative. This video you have given us excites me tremendously! Thank you!!
Shalom Danny! I feel as if I am sitting in Hebrew Univ listening to you lecture about the walls and where the burial site of Yeshua occurred. You explain the validity and invalidity of the sites so well! Good job!!! It is too bad your friend wouldn't allow you to publish on the find of the wall in his shop. Will this info be lost for future generations and the archeological puzzle pieces that fit for a better picture? Maybe others will need to do some renovations and they will share their finds with archeologists. We pray for the peace of Yerushalayim!!! We love Yisrael and the God of Avraham, Yitzach & Ya'achov!!! Adonai bless you!!! Shalom!!!
I already watched your vlog on the garden tomb and really think that area makes more sense, especially if Galgotha is that hill nearby. Taking Jesus body off the cross and carrying to that garden tomb would be so much closer.
Hi Danny, RUclips channel just randomly sent your videos as I was searching for some other bible related information. I was very facinated by your presentations of archaeological ancient sites. Especially regarding the Tomb of Jesus Christ. About few years back I watched a documentary on National Geographic channel on the church of the Holy sepulchre., Where the archaeologists claim that there is more authentic evidences for it being the genuine site. I know that you are well-versed with these information. I was just wondering about all these informations. Anyhow I will continue watching your video clips as it is very exciting and interesting. Keep up the good work.
Very interesting. Thanks for the presentation! I personally believe Jesus’ crucifixion location and tomb is located on the Mount of Olives, so this aligns with my own theories on the subject. Looking forward to learning more :)
I saw another documentary that describes that in the garden tomb the place where Jesus was laid has a area that looks like it may have been hurriedly modified to fit Jesus . That the area was excavated and the garden tomb found. Also a remnant of a Roman Seal was found on the Garden tomb. I find the whole subject fascinating and I appreciate your teachings on this. Thank you Danny p.s. could the second wall take a sharp turn because they were going around the rock that could have been Galgota? Also Thanks for the map! I really helped me understand
Simon of Cyrene was coming in from the north. Jesus was coming out going north and heading up hill as this adds to the torture of the execution. Thanks Danny. Looking forward to Emmaus.
Simon was a Jewish pilgrim from north Africa, he would have landed at the port of Jaffa, taken the Jaffa road to Jerusalem and entered the city by the Jaffa gate.
Great study! My longtime project on this story is coming to fruition! I wonder if the more northern site is too far and would have been out of site from the city walls if the point of crucifixion was to humiliate the convicted and scare passers-by that they should never oppose Roman authority. Would people have walked that far to the site by the current bus station? And I wonder about the sequence of events and distances from the praetorium on to the via dolorosa and then to golgotha while Yeshua was carrying a piece of the cross on his back.
The key is finding the “Gennath” gate. Josephus says the second wall started at Gennath gate, (part of first wall) and went as far north as the Antonia fortress.
You would be incorrect, the Garden Tomb was carved in the Iron Age, 600 years before Jesus lived. The Garden, cistern and olive press all date to the crusades. There is a ZERO PERCENT chance that it is the tomb of Jesus.
@@Bellthorian not true at all- it’s fits perfectly with all of the evidences that match the Bible - which are amazing I’ve been there 15 times - the traditional catholic sight is outside the city walls too period - the dating is disputed
@@yudiee333 You can't argue with science. The Garden Tomb was carved in the IRON AGE, 600 years before Jesus lived and it was already abandoned during Jesus life. The garden that is there, the water cistern and the olive press all date to around 1,200 AD, more than a THOUSAND years after Jesus died. I will also point out that in the books of Luke and John they specifically mention that they had to stoop down to look into Jesus tomb, which you do not have to do at the garden tomb. There is a ZERO percent chance that the garden tomb is the tomb of Jesus.
“Danny the Digger,” the real Indiana Jones. I believe Christ was Crucified on Mt Golgotha (outside the City walls), and buried in the nearby Garden Tomb. What you have shown supports this. Amen.
You would be incorrect, the Garden Tomb was carved in the Iron Age, 600 years before Jesus lived. The Garden, cistern and olive press all date to the crusades. There is a ZERO PERCENT chance that it is the tomb of Jesus.
Thank You, Danny, for your dedication. Two questions are engaging me. 1. Was it allowed to burry anyone within the city wall? The Tomb of Jesus is not the only one in the Holy Sepulchre, as You once pointed. 2. Crucifixion was usual method of killing condemned by Romans. Awfully cruel and horrifying way. Intimidation of all inhabitants of Jerusalem would be effective if anyone will see the death of an enemy of the empire. Is it true that Golgotha was poor quality hill in a stone quarry located in this area, and its proximity to the city could determine using the hill in purpose of crucifictions?
No. Jews always buried their dead outside the city. The tomb inside the Holy Sepulchre was outside the city for sure. The question is when did it go out of use? When the 2nd wall was added? Or the 3rd wall? And it is suggested that the hill in the Holy Sepulchre was really a poor stone and so it was not cut indeed, and eventually turned into an Roman execution site.
I just recently found your channel and am enjoying your videos. I have had the privilege of visiting Israel twice, once in 1980 and again in 2015. In the grand scheme of things the exact location of the crucifixion and burial don't matter because as that sign on the door says, He is not here, He has risen as He said, which is the most important fact behind the entire Christian faith. But speaking strictly for myself... the Church of the Holy Bling-Bling is frankly a ridiculous abomination with all the territorial battles between the sects that claim space there, and the fact that a Muslim family has to hold the keys to the building I find very telling.... (And don't get me started on that ladder!) The Garden Tomb, on the other hand, is such a lovely and peaceful place that again reminds us that He is NOT HERE for He has risen as he said. The garden allows for quiet contemplation whereas that blinged-up battleground excuse for a "church" does not, shall we say, present a positive picture of the Christian faith! Anyway... keep up the good work, and perhaps one of these years I will be able to take another tour of your beautiful country.
Thank you, this was enlightening! I have a question, though: in the episode about the Holy Sepulchre church, you ahowed us other tombs in a room behind. If those are around the same period, wouldn't that suggest it was outside the walls as no burials took place inside the walls? Thank you in advance for clarification, love the series!
Topography of the area shows Golgotha (near the bus station) as being part of Mt Moriah. Mt Moriah has special significance throughout the Bible, therefore Jesus fulfilling there what was shown earlier to Abraham does align completely. As for Joseph of Arimathea: my Bible proper names references me from Arimathea, over to Ramah, where Rachel wept for her children (Matt 2:18) & the place where Samuel was buried (1Sam 28:3). Could this be the same Ramah then, that is about 5 miles from Bethlehem? Appreciating your efforts Danny!
Great work Danny. Where do you think the Ark of the Covenant is. Is it hidden in some underground rooms/tunnels as rumour has it waiting for the Third Temple to be built. Thank you from Winnipeg, Canada
You are doing wonderful works. Enjoy listening and following your following Jesus' footsteps videos. By the way, why are still wearing your hat in your house ?!! From Sabah, Borneo- Malaysia
Jesus was tried, judged and sentenced at the Praetorium which was Pilots residence and administrative center for Jerusalem. The Praetorium was the former palace of Herod the Great. A short walk from the Praetorium was the Gennath gate, and from the Gennath gate it was a short walk to the crucifixion site where the Church Of The Holy Sepulture stands today.
@@danny.the.digger True, it is just my opinion based off of a lot of reading but it makes more sense to me. I do not see a Governor of a province residing withing the barracks of soldiers. Using a palace as both a residence and administrative center makes more sense to me.
Archaeologists have come to the conclusion that the church of the holy sepulcher is where a rock quarry used to be as well as several other tombs. So therefore could not have been inside the second wall, but probably just outside of it. Also, the tradition of the location goes back to Roman times, and that is strong evidence for me that it is most likely the real place where the crucifix ion occurred.
Thank you so much for your videos. I am returning to the Holy Land for the third time later this year. I have a few questions about this video. Aren't the tombs at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher first century tombs? If they are, would they be inside the city walls? Does this not show this location was outside the city walls at the time of Jesus?
Danny: Thanks for revisiting this issue. I think the important point is that Jesus died and rose again, where it happened is trivial. I do have a question..what was the ground like at the holy sepulcher site in the first century? When Mary came to the tomb she mistook the Lord for a Gardner because she was in a garden. Was there buildings or gardens at the holy sepulcher site too? Ty
There is evidence for 1st century agriculture at the site of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The garden, cistern and olive press at the garden tomb site date to the crusades.
I may have missed it but I think that you didnt mention - WHY the tomb had to be outside the city walls (Jewish purity laws). For newcomers to your channel- I think this should have been mentioned at the start.
Is the last station of the via delorosa accurate ? If it is then it should be golgota and the tomb of jesus within a few yard from it. Yes another wall could have been added after jesus’s rise to heaven. Regardless the first wall and the 2nd wall would have been different in height and design that archeologists could have identified.
Thank you for inviting us into your kitchen. I enjoy you presentations about the walls and the tombs. I have to say that i completely disagree with your interpretations, but that's ok. Disagreeing about archaeological interpretations is half the fun of archeology Keep up the great work. TallMike
Good Day Danny, Keep Digging for the Truth. I have a personal curiosity that perhaps you can answer. When Jesus fed the masses with the Loaves and Fishes where did they cook the Fish.? Maybe because I am a retired chef I have this curiosity. And was the bread unleavened bread.? Thanks, Keep on Digging 🙏✌
The fish started-out as someone's ready-to-eat lunch. They were created divinely, ready-to-eat. One feeding of the masses was for Gentiles who could eat anything, prepared any way. The other feeding was for Jews whose ceremonial unleavened-bread wasn't required in everyday chow.
I spent time in both holy sepulchre and garden tomb. I also spent time in Hebron at Abraham's tomb. Why can we know where the patriarchs are buried thousands of years before Jesus but not know his exact burial tomb? It's because He did not want us to know the exact spot. We humans tend to set up little "temples" on such places but I don't believe this is pleasing to G-d. Blessings from Alaska USA.
Could Yeshua have been crucified on the mount of Olives, it's east of the temple where sacrifices (red heifer) was conducted ect. It has a garden and cemetery, plus it's outside the city? How could the centurion see the vile torn if in the other 2 places? Just some thoughts, love you the watchman with Eric shalom 🕊
Would the Romans crucify Jesus, or anyone, close to an entrance to the city, so as to further shame the person on the cross? Reason I ask, the garden tomb/Golgotha spot seems far from an entrance.

We love Yisrael and the God of Avraham, Yitzach & Ya'achov!!! Adonai bless you!!! Shalom!!!
The wall found in his Shop was published by the IAA. Connecting it to the 2nd wall is my speculation
Very interesting Danny, need to find that second wall.
Excellent explanation Danny.
I already watched your vlog on the garden tomb and really think that area makes more sense, especially if Galgotha is that hill nearby. Taking Jesus body off the cross and carrying to that garden tomb would be so much closer.
Awesome work
Watching from Australia.
Thanks.
Hi Danny,
RUclips channel just randomly sent your videos as I was searching for some other bible related information. I was very facinated by your presentations of archaeological ancient sites. Especially regarding the Tomb of Jesus Christ. About few years back I watched a documentary on National Geographic channel on the church of the Holy sepulchre., Where the archaeologists claim that there is more authentic evidences for it being the genuine site. I know that you are well-versed with these information. I was just wondering about all these informations. Anyhow I will continue watching your video clips as it is very exciting and interesting. Keep up the good work.
Terrific
Very interesting. Thanks for the presentation! I personally believe Jesus’ crucifixion location and tomb is located on the Mount of Olives, so this aligns with my own theories on the subject. Looking forward to learning more :)
Very problematic theory.. but who knows..
@@danny.the.digger why is this theory very problematic? Just curious.
Between Danny the digger and the archeological dig at the garden tomb of Ron Wyatt finding out the facts looks more promising than ever
I saw another documentary that describes that in the garden tomb the place where Jesus was laid has a area that looks like it may have been hurriedly modified to fit Jesus . That the area was excavated and the garden tomb found. Also a remnant of a Roman Seal was found on the Garden tomb. I find the whole subject fascinating and I appreciate your teachings on this. Thank you Danny p.s. could the second wall take a sharp turn because they were going around the rock that could have been Galgota? Also Thanks for the map! I really helped me understand
Do you have a link to the documentry you mentioned?
@@danny.the.digger I will look for it, and post it here. 😊
Shalom Danny 😊
👋
Simon of Cyrene was coming in from the north. Jesus was coming out going north and heading up hill as this adds to the torture of the execution. Thanks Danny. Looking forward to Emmaus.
Simon was a Jewish pilgrim from north Africa, he would have landed at the port of Jaffa, taken the Jaffa road to Jerusalem and entered the city by the Jaffa gate.
Danny the Digger’s new name is Danny the Professor!!!
well I still teach at the Hebrew U.. but frankly I was expecting someone to suggest "Danny the Vlogger".. 🙂
Ok let’s find that wall then !!
Great study! My longtime project on this story is coming to fruition!
I wonder if the more northern site is too far and would have been out of site from the city walls if the point of crucifixion was to humiliate the convicted and scare passers-by that they should never oppose Roman authority.
Would people have walked that far to the site by the current bus station?
And I wonder about the sequence of events and distances from the praetorium on to the via dolorosa and then to golgotha while Yeshua was carrying a piece of the cross on his back.
If Damascus gate was indeed the city's northern limit, it is right next to it!
@@danny.the.digger ok good to know. Thanks for the reply!
I love your diagram and explanation. Do you have a video about where you suppose the crucifixion happened?
The key is finding the “Gennath” gate. Josephus says the second wall started at Gennath gate, (part of first wall) and went as far north as the Antonia fortress.
The garden tomb fits the biblical narrative IMHO -
Imho what?..
@@danny.the.digger that means - “ in my humble opinion “ 🙂
You would be incorrect, the Garden Tomb was carved in the Iron Age, 600 years before Jesus lived. The Garden, cistern and olive press all date to the crusades. There is a ZERO PERCENT chance that it is the tomb of Jesus.
@@Bellthorian not true at all- it’s fits perfectly with all of the evidences that match the Bible - which are amazing I’ve been there 15 times - the traditional catholic sight is outside the city walls too period - the dating is disputed
@@yudiee333 You can't argue with science. The Garden Tomb was carved in the IRON AGE, 600 years before Jesus lived and it was already abandoned during Jesus life. The garden that is there, the water cistern and the olive press all date to around 1,200 AD, more than a THOUSAND years after Jesus died. I will also point out that in the books of Luke and John they specifically mention that they had to stoop down to look into Jesus tomb, which you do not have to do at the garden tomb. There is a ZERO percent chance that the garden tomb is the tomb of Jesus.
“Danny the Digger,” the real Indiana Jones. I believe Christ was Crucified on Mt Golgotha (outside the City walls), and buried in the nearby Garden Tomb. What you have shown supports this. Amen.

@@Bellthorian
Or, you’re discounting the Bible.
Thank You, Danny, for your dedication. Two questions are engaging me.
1. Was it allowed to burry anyone within the city wall? The Tomb of Jesus is not the only one in the Holy Sepulchre, as You once pointed.
2. Crucifixion was usual method of killing condemned by Romans. Awfully cruel and horrifying way. Intimidation of all inhabitants of Jerusalem would be effective if anyone will see the death of an enemy of the empire. Is it true that Golgotha was poor quality hill in a stone quarry located in this area, and its proximity to the city could determine using the hill in purpose of crucifictions?
No. Jews always buried their dead outside the city.
The tomb inside the Holy Sepulchre was outside the city for sure. The question is when did it go out of use? When the 2nd wall was added? Or the 3rd wall?
And it is suggested that the hill in the Holy Sepulchre was really a poor stone and so it was not cut indeed, and eventually turned into an Roman execution site.
I just recently found your channel and am enjoying your videos. I have had the privilege of visiting Israel twice, once in 1980 and again in 2015. In the grand scheme of things the exact location of the crucifixion and burial don't matter because as that sign on the door says, He is not here, He has risen as He said, which is the most important fact behind the entire Christian faith.
But speaking strictly for myself... the Church of the Holy Bling-Bling is frankly a ridiculous abomination with all the territorial battles between the sects that claim space there, and the fact that a Muslim family has to hold the keys to the building I find very telling.... (And don't get me started on that ladder!) The Garden Tomb, on the other hand, is such a lovely and peaceful place that again reminds us that He is NOT HERE for He has risen as he said. The garden allows for quiet contemplation whereas that blinged-up battleground excuse for a "church" does not, shall we say, present a positive picture of the Christian faith!
Anyway... keep up the good work, and perhaps one of these years I will be able to take another tour of your beautiful country.
People look for the Arc of the Covenant , well, the location of the second wall seems pretty important also...
Thank you, this was enlightening! I have a question, though: in the episode about the Holy Sepulchre church, you ahowed us other tombs in a room behind. If those are around the same period, wouldn't that suggest it was outside the walls as no burials took place inside the walls? Thank you in advance for clarification, love the series!
Exactly! Did you watch my show on the Holy Sepulchre?
Hello, do you have Thai language? Thank you very much. God bless you
Sorry.. I struggle enough with the English..
Topography of the area shows Golgotha (near the bus station) as being part of Mt Moriah. Mt Moriah has special significance throughout the Bible, therefore Jesus fulfilling there what was shown earlier to Abraham does align completely.
As for Joseph of Arimathea: my Bible proper names references me from Arimathea, over to Ramah, where Rachel wept for her children (Matt 2:18) & the place where Samuel was buried (1Sam 28:3). Could this be the same Ramah then, that is about 5 miles from Bethlehem?
Appreciating your efforts Danny!
Yes. Same Ramah in my opinion
💖🙏
Great work Danny. Where do you think the Ark of the Covenant is. Is it hidden in some underground rooms/tunnels as rumour has it waiting for the Third Temple to be built. Thank you from Winnipeg, Canada
Revelation 11:19 reveals the Ark's current location ...
You are doing wonderful works. Enjoy listening and following your following Jesus' footsteps videos. By the way, why are still wearing your hat in your house ?!! From Sabah, Borneo- Malaysia
I can't think with out my hat.. ;-)
@@danny.the.digger that's basic scholarship in academia: "Put your thinking-cap on."
Jesus was tried, judged and sentenced at the Praetorium which was Pilots residence and administrative center for Jerusalem. The Praetorium was the former palace of Herod the Great. A short walk from the Praetorium was the Gennath gate, and from the Gennath gate it was a short walk to the crucifixion site where the Church Of The Holy Sepulture stands today.
That’s one possibility, but the texts are not clear enough
@@danny.the.digger True, it is just my opinion based off of a lot of reading but it makes more sense to me. I do not see a Governor of a province residing withing the barracks of soldiers. Using a palace as both a residence and administrative center makes more sense to me.
Archaeologists have come to the conclusion that the church of the holy sepulcher is where a rock quarry used to be as well as several other tombs. So therefore could not have been inside the second wall, but probably just outside of it. Also, the tradition of the location goes back to Roman times, and that is strong evidence for me that it is most likely the real place where the crucifix ion occurred.
Very interesting. Maybe Josephus was mistaken about when the second wall was constructed.
Indeed, but in any case it predates the time of Jesus
Thank you so much for your videos. I am returning to the Holy Land for the third time later this year. I have a few questions about this video. Aren't the tombs at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher first century tombs? If they are, would they be inside the city walls? Does this not show this location was outside the city walls at the time of Jesus?
Sure does!
Danny: Thanks for revisiting this issue. I think the important point is that Jesus died and rose again, where it happened is trivial. I do have a question..what was the ground like at the holy sepulcher site in the first century? When Mary came to the tomb she mistook the Lord for a Gardner because she was in a garden. Was there buildings or gardens at the holy sepulcher site too? Ty
Who knows..
There is evidence for 1st century agriculture at the site of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The garden, cistern and olive press at the garden tomb site date to the crusades.
I may have missed it but I think that you didnt mention - WHY the tomb had to be outside the city walls (Jewish purity laws). For newcomers to your channel- I think this should have been mentioned at the start.
Hi. It was to fulfill Scripture.
Priests couldn't go near a corpse.
Indeed. Jewish Purity law, followed to this day
Is the last station of the via delorosa accurate ? If it is then it should be golgota and the tomb of jesus within a few yard from it. Yes another wall could have been added after jesus’s rise to heaven. Regardless the first wall and the 2nd wall would have been different in height and design that archeologists could have identified.
Anything is possible..
Thank you for inviting us into your kitchen. I enjoy you presentations about the walls and the tombs. I have to say that i completely disagree with your interpretations, but that's ok. Disagreeing about archaeological interpretations is half the fun of archeology Keep up the great work. TallMike
oh, thats totally fine. I might also dissagree with what I say today in a few years.. my opinions keep evolving all the time..
🇿🇦♥️
Are there any known roads or paths that would lead north out of the city in the first century?
No. But the 1st century remains in Jaffa gate strongly suggest their existance.
Good Day Danny, Keep Digging for the Truth. I have a personal curiosity that perhaps you can answer. When Jesus fed the masses with the Loaves and Fishes where did they cook the Fish.? Maybe because I am a retired chef I have this curiosity. And was the bread unleavened bread.? Thanks, Keep on Digging 🙏✌
Well that is a very good and tasty question! 🙂 I have no idea.. but the bread was probably ordinary pita bread
@@danny.the.digger Hi again Danny, perhaps we can also consider Jesus Christ the first Susi Chef 😊🐟🍞🙏✌
@@edwardcarloni6356 OMG - thats a good one! :-) :-) :-)
The fish started-out as someone's ready-to-eat lunch. They were created divinely, ready-to-eat. One feeding of the masses was for Gentiles who could eat anything, prepared any way. The other feeding was for Jews whose ceremonial unleavened-bread wasn't required in everyday chow.
Please post on Rumble
What is rumble? I am also on IG and FB, although much less active now that I decided to commit to a daily vlog on YT..
I spent time in both holy sepulchre and garden tomb. I also spent time in Hebron at Abraham's tomb. Why can we know where the patriarchs are buried thousands of years before Jesus but not know his exact burial tomb? It's because He did not want us to know the exact spot. We humans tend to set up little "temples" on such places but I don't believe this is pleasing to G-d. Blessings from Alaska USA.
Who said the tomb of the Patriarchs is indeed where we think it is? it's all based on circumstantial evidence..
@@danny.the.digger then do a video to show us where the Cave of Machpelah could be?
Could Yeshua have been crucified on the mount of Olives, it's east of the temple where sacrifices (red heifer) was conducted ect. It has a garden and cemetery, plus it's outside the city? How could the centurion see the vile torn if in the other 2 places? Just some thoughts, love you the watchman with Eric shalom 🕊
The Romans attacked the city from the northwest and undoubtedly destroyed any wall in that area. There is no sign of Antonia Fortress stones either.
Sure there is. watch chapters #20-#21
The map cant be seen
Where is the mercy gate at the time of "Jesus Christ" time???? Please.
Same location as today
Who says there was?
Internally
Would the Romans crucify Jesus, or anyone, close to an entrance to the city, so as to further shame the person on the cross? Reason I ask, the garden tomb/Golgotha spot seems far from an entrance.
If its right next to the gate, both the city's inhabitants, and its visitors would see it. Gates are usually the most busy parts of an old city.
Excuse my ignorance here but isn’t Golgotha in a place that is near a bus station it even resembles a skull.
Watch my #26-#28..
No it is not, The Garden Tomb site is a literal tourist trap and has a ZERO PERCENT chance of being Jesus tomb.
GARDEN TOMB is it
You would be incorrect, the Garden Tomb was carved in the Iron Age, 600 years before Jesus lived. The Garden, cistern and olive press all date to the crusades. There is a ZERO PERCENT chance that it is the tomb of Jesus.
