It was formed by the quarrying of rock used for building Jerusalem over the hundreds of years from David's time to Christ's time. This rock faced cliff was called Golgotha or the place of the skull in the Gospels. It was a rock quarry and a place of execution designed by the Romans. It was here alongside of the main road heading to Damascus - that the execution by crucifixion took place. The many travelers in and out of the commercial area of Jerusalem had to ...
