The evidence the Waqf doesn’t want the world to see

The archeological dig taking place near the Mugrabi gate to prevent the destruction of artifacts—which is the real reason why the Waqf and the Muslims don’t want Israel digging around the Temple Mount area—has already brought results.

As the controversy swirls around the construction of the new bridge leading to the Temple Mount at the Mughrabi Gate, archeologists have already uncovered finds from the medieval period and early Islamic era that shed new light on Jerusalem’s history.

“We have dug three meters down and discovered massive walls which we believe are from the early Islamic Umayyad period,” Jerusalem’s chief archeologist Yuval Baruch said. “Because of its proximity to the Wohl Archeological Park, I personally hope to find the rest of the Umayyad palaces.”

So what have they found? Lots of evidence from the eight century, but also this:

Among the findings at the site currently being excavated for the rebuilding of the bridge to the Mughrabi Gate, the archeologists have found pipes belonging to a medieval water system, but for Baruch, “the most interesting find is that we have found the evidence which suggests that right under the Umayyad ruins are Byzantine ruins [135-638], and under these, we believe there are Herodian roads and other ruins from the Second Temple period.”

“The main excavations of the Umayyad and Byzantine ruins at the Mugrabi area will begin in a couple of days, and if we are patient enough, in five or six months time we could find Second Temple period ruins” to add to what has already been discoved in the adjacent archelogical park, Baruch added.

In other words: More proof that the Temples existed, which the Muslims are trying their damnedest to prevent. Those wily Jews just keep on finding archeological evidence to the contrary, though.
