from Keeping It Israel · host Jeff Futers

A surprisingly hilarious discussion about the recent discovery of a mansion that overlooked the Temple Mount in Jerusalem 2700 years ago;  with owners so rich, they were able to afford their own toilet.

The beautiful Proto-Aeolic capitals he found pre-date any similar capitals found in Greece. And through the ancient window frame Ya'akov discovered, we can reimagine the grand view the royal inhabitants of the mansion enjoyed.  Archaeology continues to uncover a 1st Temple Period Jerusalem as glorious as the Bible describes.First Century Foundations is a Charity that supports ministries in Jerusalem and many other parts of the country of Israel.
