Archaeologists uncover intact section of ancient Jerusalem wall from Hanukkah era

10 décembre 2025 à 09:33

Archaeologists have finished uncovering the longest continuous remains of an ancient wall that encircled Jerusalem, including possible evidence of a 2,100-year-old ceasefire between warring kingdoms.

Workers from the Israel Antiquities Authority clean a section of an excavation site where, according to the institution, a city wall from the Hasmonean period, dating to the late 2nd century BCE, was uncovered under the Tower of David Citadel Museum, in the Old City of Jerusalem, Monday, Dec. 8, 2025.

archaeologists finished excavating the most complete part ever discovered of the foundations of the walls, which surrounded Jerusalem during the time of the Hasmonean Kingdom, when the story of Hanukkah took place.

The Hasmonean wall foundation uncovered in Jerusalem — likely built just decades after the Hanukkah story — stretches about 164 feet long and 16 feet wide.

The Hasmonean walls encircled an area much larger than the current Old City of Jerusalem, with 60 watchtowers along the wall that were more than 33 feet tall, according to ancient writings.
