A 5 page contention that the modern era of the nineteenth and twentieth century have by many accounts waged more damage on Jerusalem than the city has incurred at any point in her pre-modern history. Much of this damage relates to the perception of the religious importance of the city. It is an insult which is deserved of a deliberate archaeological effort to clarify that indeed Jerusalem was, and is, one of the most important religious shrines on earth. This paper proposes additional excavation in Jerusalem which is designed to demonstrate that the Bible, despite growing perceptions to the contrary, is an accurate historical record and not just the myth of which some would prefer it be comprised. A brief budget is proposed based on a fictional $1,000,000 grant. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

archaeological effort to clarify that indeed Jerusalem was, and is, one of the most important religious shrines on earth and that the Bible, despite growing perceptions to the contrary, is
an accurate historical record and not just the myth that some would prefer it be comprised. Archaeologists have, of course, already substantiated many
aspects of the citys religious importance. efforts have been underway since 1835 to unearth her many and diverse archaeological treasures, mysteries, and keys to mysteries. Although no one
knows precisely what Jerusalem looked like at the time of its first major destruction in 586 B.C., during the time of Christ, or during the destruction that occurred in
