Nehemiah's Jerusalem (Maybe)

Archaeologists and Biblical scholars are unsure as to how much of Jerusalem's walls were rebuilt under Nehemiah. I lean toward the minimalist view, i.e. basically Solomon's expansion from David's Jerusalem without Hezekiah's addition to the W. Since I assume there was still rubble from Hezekiah's walls being destroyed, I left a little sticking above the surface on the western hill.

This model is a revision of Hezekiah's Jerusalem which I have posted elsewhere. You might want to clip off some of the labels to the W, as well as where I put an X through "PALACE".

If you have any suggestions or good scholarly information about Nehemiah's Jerusalem you would like to send, email me at [email protected]
