Hebrew University archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar speaks at the June 10, 2018 opening of the archaeological exhibit,“Seals of Isaiah and King Hezekiah Discovered!” from the King David hotel in Jerusalem, Israel.

The legacy continues.

Recounting my time with Jerusalem’s queen of archaeology

Dr. Mazar leaves behind a rich legacy of biblically significant discoveries including the discovery of King David’s Palace, Nehemiah’s Wall, the Solomonic gate of Jerusalem, as well as numerous discoveries related to biblical figures.

Few could have matched the prodigious work ethic of Dr. Eilat Mazar—except, perhaps, her sister.

It’s not what she’s uncovering that rankles scholarly critics—it’s that her findings confirm the biblical narrative.

Archaeology in Jerusalem is often unfairly demonized by agenda-driven journalists as the work of ‘Zionists’ in opposition to Palestinians. This could not be further from the truth—as the Mazar excavations in particular attest.

Some wonderful developments have occurred in ancient Jerusalem over the past 50 years. I believe great discoveries and accomplishments are still to be made.

As monumental of a find as the palace is, the way it was found is perhaps even more remarkable.
