A new find near the Temple Mount suggests that the “City of David” was more likely a suburb of ancient Jerusalem.
The Dome of the Rock Mosque in the Al Aqsa Mosque compound is seen in Jerusalem's Old City in 2017. Archaeologists are still trying to determine the precise location of King David's palace.
The iconic walls that ring today’s Old City are in fact of Ottoman construction, built by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century. But many archaeologists have long felt that the evidence pointing to the City of David complex is far from conclusive. The question has become colloquially known as “the problem with Jerusalem” in the Israeli archaeological community.
“The discovery of the two tablet fragments in the Ophel area,” Na’aman argued in his paper, “has changed the balance of evidence. As observed above, the fragments indicate that the royal palace, from where they must have swept, was probably on the Temple Mount.” The lack of significant structural remains between the City of David and the Temple Mount from the earliest days of Jerusalem, he concluded, suggests a city in two parts.
