Ophel Excavations 2012-13

On April 22, 2013, Dr. Eilat Mazar reopened the second phase of her Ophel Excavation, uncovering the ruins of King Solomon’s complex near the foot of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Herbert W. Armstrong College sent fifteen students and alumni to Jerusalem to volunteer on that summer dig, which concluded in August 2013. Previously, from August to December 2012, over twenty representatives from the college assisted Dr. Mazar for four months during the first half of phase two of the excavation.
