Day 6: Archaeology Extravaganza

Today was one of the most fun days. We did so many things like going through Hezekiyah’s water tunnel and being an archaeologist for 2 hours. The water tunnels were very fun. I was really scared because it was extremely dark, but I was able to get through.

When we sifted dirt from the first temple, my team, Daniel, Robin and I didn’t find anything at first. After 2 buckets we found a burnt bone. But the crazy thing happened next. Once we finished digging through our third or fourth bucket of dirt we found a small slab of marble with an uppercase Y and the archaeologists said that it was probably from the crusader times. 

Today was a crazy day and it was so nice to see everyone together, the Gottesman Academy and Hannah Senesh.
