Ever wondered what archaeological remains sit in the dirt of the Temple Mount? For over 20 years, the Temple Mount Sifting Project, led by Prof. Gabriel Barkay and Zachi Dvira, has been “revealing the buried secrets” of this remarkable location. As well established as this project has been, however, getting it started wasn’t simple.

In December, Let the Stones Speak co-host Christopher Eames interviewed Zachi Dvira. In this first installment of the interview, Dvira discusses the history of the project, as well as some details about where the project stands today.
