In 1867 the British explorer Captain Charles Warren discovered an ancient underground water tunnel just outside the walls of the old city and just 500 feet from the Western Wall. Upon recognizing this to be remarkably similar to the underground water tunnel or "gutter" described in the Bible (2nd Book of Samuel Ch. 5) as used by King David's forces in the capture of Jerusalem, Captain Warren began archeological excavations that would later confirm that he had in fact just discovered "Biblical Jerusalem".
Captain Warren’s discovery launched a long line of excavations in the city and whet the appetite of numerous treasure hunters who came to the area seeking out the secrets and treasures of the "Bible".
The City of David Today
Following the Six Day War Jerusalem was united and the boundary erased. However, a Jewish presence was missing from the City of David. Towards the end of the seventies, archaeological excavations in the City of David began, and continued for several seasons, under the directorship of Professor Yigal Shiloh discoveries and greatly expanded our current understanding of the City of David. Throughout the years, additional excavations have taken place which enriched our knowledge about the City of David. In 1991 the first Jewish residents began to return to live in the City of David and today the area is a thriving Jewish community. The purpose of the “City of David Visitors Center” is to bring as many people as possible to visit the area and to experience the place… where it all began.
