Ophel Gardens

On the south-west side of the temple mount is Ophel Gardens.
Herod built steps up to the temple mount. When the Roman conquered, they destroyed the entire thing.

When Romans destroyed everything the weight of the falling stones were so heavy that they cracked everything below.

We found some roped off underground tunnels that Aaron and I (especially Aaron) were more than happy to explore.




These are the stones that fell. They were huge!

Aaron was happy to help with the destruction!

Success.
