Viewers who've always wanted to visit Jerusalem will embark on a virtual journey in this Day of Discovery DVD that takes them underground to the actual streets that Jesus and the apostles walked. Here, below the surface of modern-day Jerusalem, archaeological digs are uncovering the story of Israel's ages-old capital, layer by layer. In Underground Jerusalem: City of the Past, Mideastern journalist Jimmy DeYoung takes viewers with him on a remarkable, subterranean virtual tour in company with leading Israeli archaeologists. Their expedition threads from the springs of Gihon through Hezekiah's Tunnel, which supplied water to Jerusalem's ancient inhabitants. They'll tread beautifully preserved first-century streets that lead to the Temple Mount . . . visit Solomon's Quarry, described by the ancient historian Josephus . . . and deep down at the very roots of the Western Wall, they'll marvel at the massive, 850-ton Herodian Stonesthe largest stones ever used in masonry. Underground Jerusalem does more than uncover secrets of the past. It points us to the present and the importance of building our lives on the foundation: Jesus, the cornerstone of our faith. Approx. 30 minutes. * Closed Captioning for the hearing impaired.
