Rockerfeller Archeological Museum
This museum is located pretty close to the Mount of Olives on the northeastern corner outside of the old city. I checked this museum out by my self one day and enjoyed it because I enjoy looking at rocks and other old things. I’m no archeologist but I find things that are dug up from thousands of years ago mystical and otherworldly to my mind’s eye. There’s something special to me about an recently unearthed objects once thought of and crafted from creative human minds millennia ago. It strikes a chord somewhere in the depths of my own imagination. It gives me a connection to the past, a shared bond through time. Yes, it’s my time travel. Who doesn’t want to travel back in time? Many do, which is why we have archaeologists I suppose. I suspect this is also one of the reasons I love Jerusalem so much.
