(1) The Tomb of Jesus recreation is probably the most photogenic part of the attraction. Too bad it was overcast, otherwise the colors would have been much more vibrant. - 5 voters (5.00) BAR
(2) Next, we sat in on a dramatic performance in front of Solomon's Temple. It was a pretty good show but most definitely not very historical, as you'll see in the next few photos. - 2 voters (5.00) BAR
(3) Like I said, not an historic presentation. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(4) From the north side of the city looking toward the second North Wall and Solomon's Temple beyond. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(5) As we were leaving, a group of performers were heard in the market street. Mark Bond (a musician in his own right) chose to borrow a tambourine and join in. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR

At 45x25 feet, this is one of the largest models of old Jerusalem, circa A.D. 66. The only thing that makes it not the most accurate model is that many (not all, such as the temple) of the structures are much larger scale so they are more visible to spectators. It would be more realistic if anywhere from 5 to 10 dwellings were placed in the same space as just one in this model. This view is most of the Lower City.
