Join the wonderful Frankie Snyder talk about the experience sifting through thousands of years of history and making fabulous discoveries and recreating history before our eyes.

You might have learned about Jerusalem’s history in a book or through a documentary. But have you ever gone and experienced it? Have you ever literally touched Jerusalem’s past?

That is what Frankie Snyder as well as many other people do at the Temple Mount Sifting Project.

In 1999, Muslims illegally did renovations on the Temple Mount and disposed of 9,000 tons of dirt. But that dirt contained tons of archaeology. They tried to rid Jerusalem of its history, and the Temple Mount Sifting Project is bringing it all back. Its volunteers have searched through that dirt for objects from the past. Although some archaeological artifacts were destroyed when the Muslims bulldozed the area, archaeologists have still been able to uncover incredible truths from the past.
