Episode: Chris McKinny and Mary Buck discuss the archaeology and architecture of Iron Age Jerusalem.
Hosts: Mary Buck (Shepherd’s Seminary) and Chris McKinny (Gesher Media)
Summary: In this episode, Mary and Chris discuss the following:
- The topography of ancient Jerusalem.
- The history of research related to the “Millo” in Jerusalem (Judg 9:6, 20; 2 Sam 5:9; 1 Kgs 9:15, 24; 11:27; 2 Kgs 12:20; 1 Chr 11:8; 2 Chr 32:5).
- The archaeology of the City of David and the Spring Tower.
- The identification of the Millo/House of Millo with the Spring Tower fortifications based on a new suggestion by Chris McKinny, Aharon Tavger, Nahshon Szanton, and Joe Uziel.
- The narrative implications of the Gihon Spring (1 Kgs 1:33, 38, 45), ṣinnor (2 Sam 5:8), and the Millo/Spring Tower being the same location.
