Diggers Unearth Key Bible Wall

Archaeologists digging in Jerusalem's City of David have found what they believe is an ancient wall mentioned in the Bible, AP reports. While working to save a tower from collapse, they found pottery shards and arrowheads from the 5th century BC, leading them to believe that a wall nearby is one mentioned in the Book of Nehemiah.

The book gives a detailed description of construction of the walls, destroyed earlier by the Babylonians. "This was a great surprise. It was something we didn't plan,"  said the leader of the dig, who added that the find "opens a new chapter" in Jerusalem's history. (More Jerusalem stories.)
