This is a

is CBS I and the world. I'm John Bachelor welcoming Indiana Hone Line, the Dusty

one, his chapeau, the bag of tricks, the bullwhip, and we go to a mystery, the enormous stones that make up the

temple mountain, first temple period. Where did they come from and how did they get them there?

Indiana, you found a clue.

We found a big clue, which I actually witnessed myself.

There is an area called Harbutz-Feim, Quarryman's Hill,

and people didn't know why it was called that

until the excavations that are prepared in any time

there's new construction because everywhere in Israel there are major archaeological

underpinnings under the ground.

And so they found, as they were doing this construction,

an enormous ancient quarry that dates back

to the first century, the period of the second temple.

And all these big building projects had always been a mystery such as the

Temple Mount, how they got these huge building blocks, some of which can weigh up to 570 tons each. How did they query them? Well because this was actually left in

situ that the blocks and the carvings and stuff were left in place.

Archaeologists, first time, can replicate some of the ancient technologies

and experiment and try to recreate the process by which they were quarried,

the stones and by which they were transported.

And you can see some of them at the at the base of the Western wall

and inside the tunnels next to the wall.
