	Benjamin Mazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Benjamin Mazar (June 28, 1906 - September 9, 1995) was a pioneering Israeli archaeologist who shared the national passion for the archaeology of Israel that also attracts considerable international interest due to the region's Biblical links.
		Benjamin Mazar, his son Ory and his granddaughter Eilat Mazar and nephew Amihai Mazar all shared the same interests in Israeli archaeology.
		According to Ory Mazar, a son of Benjamin Mazar, his father favored the idea that the Temple location was not where most people assumed that it had been on Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

	Major "Keys" in Discovering the Lost Temples of Jerusalem
		Benjamin of Tudela arrived on the scene in Jerusalem when the Christians in the Crusade period were in control of Jerusalem and they had been masters of the city for the previous 70 years.
		Benjamin of Tudela boldly asserts (and without the slightest compunction) that the so-called "Western Wall" was then found at the entrance to the Dome of the Rock.
		Indeed, when this Benjamin was traveling through southern Italy in the province of Apulia, he said the capital city of that province is where the Assyrian king named "Pul" came from (mentioned in II Kings 15;19 and I Chronicles 5:26).

	Serving Jesus for REAL!Serve Jesus for Real.com - International News...
		It is here that Mazar - the 48-year-old widowed mother of four and granddaughter of renowned archeologist Professor Benjamin Mazar – began excavating in February, in a dig sponsored by the conservative Jerusalem think tank, the Shalem Center, where she is a senior fellow, together with the academic support of the Hebrew University.
		Mazar and her team peeled away the fallen stones, one by one, revealing that what lay immediately underneath the boulders were not ruined city walls, as had previously been thought, but rather the ruins of an immense 3,000-year-old stone building which was surprisingly well-preserved.
		Mazar's team did not find any construction predating the 11th century BC at the site, leading her to exclude the possibility that the building served as a Jebusite citadel, such as the Fortress of Zion that David captured from the Jebusites, as recounted in Samuel II 5:7.

	A Critique by Dr. Leen Ritmeyer/Rebuttal by Dr. Martin
		Not only did he work closely with Professor Benjamin Mazar and was the official architect of the archaeological excavation at Jerusalem from 1973 until its closure, but he is now considered by most scholars in the world as the chief authority on the location of the Temple Mount.
		This erroneous identification of David’s tomb on the western hill (mentioned by Benjamin of Tudela) caused Jews to abandon the southeastern ridge as the proper City of David.
		I was the initial person responsible for sending over two million dollars to Professor Mazar and the State of Israel to fund the dig and other enterprises during those years.

	Jerusalem
		When the Israelite tribes divided Canaan into tribal lots, Jerusalem was originally assigned to the tribe of Benjamin, but they seemed unable to gain control of the area from the local inhabitants.
		So Jerusalem remained a Jebusite city until the time of David, thus cutting the Israelite territory in two and separating the central tribes from the southern ones.
		The most extensive excavations ever conducted in the area were carried out by Professor Benjamin Mazar near the Western Wall.

		The scrolls, described by the president of the Hebrew University, Professor Benjamin Mazar, as "the greatest discovery of our age," are housed, together with the jars in which they were found, in a specially constructed vault of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
		Later they will be moved to a structure now being built and to be known as the "Shrine of the Book" in the library of the new university now rising on the western heights of this city.
		Yadin, whose father, the late Professor Elcazar Sukenik, then head of the archaeological department of the Hebrew University, bought the first three scrolls from a dealer in Bethlehem, said that Israel had published facsimiles and photographs of the scrolls in its possession even before they were deciphered.

		Technion engineers had already measured a slight movement in part of the southern wall during the excavations...There was no penetration of the Mount itself or danger to holy places, but midway in the tunnel's progress large cracks appeared in one of the residential buildings in the Moslem Quarter, 12 meters above the excavation.

	The Israeli Chief Rabbinate and the Temple Mount Question
		Nissim also charged that the digs would upset the prayer services.
		Professor Benjamin Mazar was given permission to dig along the southern wall on condition that it be defined as "uncovering the Wall" rather than as "an archeological dig." Unterman's view that only the Western Wall had intrinsic holiness won out over Nissim's.
		Yet the dig itself continued also along the section of the Western Wall between the southern wall and the Mograbi Gate - resulting, in effect, in the rabbinate having to share the Western Wall with the archeologists.
