You'll never know what you'll find when walking around Jerusalem, especially in the Old City!
I was walking through the Jewish quarter to the Western Wall when I saw this. It's an ancient city wall dating back 2,600 years—to King Hezekiah!
It is 7 meters thick (around 23 feet)!
It's hard to see, but on the corner of the building back left, there is a marker showing the believed height of the wall.
Could this be the wall Isaiah refers to in 22:10: "You counted the buildings in Jerusalem and tore down houses to strengthen the wall"? I'll have to ask him one day!
