NOTE: This topic is not about the Western Wall or the Temple Mount, but rather the tunnel that runs under the walls of Jerusalem. Be sure to stay focused on the tunnels. On the Western Wall Tunnels excavations in Jerusalem you will want to consult Dr. Leen Ritmeyer as he is the world’s leading expert on the Temple Mount [LINK] and one of our consultants/architects on the Tall el–Hammam and Shiloh excavation projects. Remember that you need at least 6 sources (books not 6 footnotes) for each paper. The Bible does not count as a source. Remember to provide"the historical background of the site (including history of previous archaeological excavations, if any), objectives of the current excavation, progress at the site, and significance of discoveries to biblical study. "Make sure to choose a good encyclopedia, journal articles, and books that specialize in the subject. This will give you a cross section of material.
