The Old City is an archaeologist’s dream because there is so much history waiting to be discovered there . For instance , the Ophel Archaeological Garden reveals a massive network of ancient underground tunnels and entire blocks of Jerusalem’s main street as they stood 2 , 000 years ago . Thanks to the efforts of teams of archaeologists , visitors to the garden can now have an idea of how the city looked at the time of its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE . Archaeology is the study of the artifacts , or remains , of earlier cultures . These artifacts may include items such as tools , wall paintings , and pottery . Archaeologists , the people who study these remains , help us learn more about history and the lives of the people who came before us . OOps ! In Eretz Yisrael , you don’t just read about our ancestors , you stand where they stood and see what they saw .
