One way to allow the public to visit an archaeological site is to build bridges over the old stones.
Dig work can continue beneath the visitors, as happens here at the City of David, a top tourist destination in Jerusalem.

These "bridges" are for Sunday Bridges .

A unique bridge indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis is much nicer than viewing from the edges through a glass panel.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a place that I would like to explore. I think it would be interesting watching archaeologist do their work.
ReplyDeleteGood idea. Gives a sense of perspective being able to look down.
ReplyDeleteI like those bridges, you have a great view over the old excavations.
ReplyDeleteI bet that's a fascinating place to visit
ReplyDeletegreat bridge...what fun work...i always wanted to be an archeologist!
ReplyDeleteThose are useful bridges. Great addition to our Sunday Bridges collection, Dina.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'd love to watch a dig (under an umbrella, mind you).
ReplyDeleteWhat's exciting to me is that the City of David, so mythological in my mind, actually exists for us to learn about. Wow.
ReplyDeleteBridges over time and history...
ReplyDeleteWOW!! The City of David...how exciting. You live in a fabulous place filled with so much important history. Your shot was captured beautifully.
