ISRAEL-ARCHAEOLOGY-CITADEL-CULTURE-JERUSALEM
Archaeologist from the Israeli Antiquities Authorities, Dr Doron Ben-Ami points at an excavation site near the City of David adjacent to Jerusalem's Old City walls on November 3, 2015, where researchers believe to have found the remains of the stronghold the Acra, from which the Greek King Antiochus IV was able to control Jerusalem and monitor activity at the holy site known to Jews as the Temple Mount. Israel's antiquities body claimed to have solved "one of Jerusalem's greatest archeological mysteries" by unearthing from under a car park the 2,000-year-old citadel, which archaeologists have puzzled for more than a century over its location.
