Visiting Jerusalem
Day 9 - Jerusalem (Old City of Jerusalem)
The Holyland Model of Jerusalem is a 1:50 scale-model of the city of Jerusalem in the late Second Temple Period. Construction of the Model of Ancient Jerusalem was undertaken in 1966 by Hans Kroch, the owner of the Holyland Hotel, in memory of his son, Yaakov (Jacob), a soldier who was killed in the Israeli War of Independence in 1948.
Originally on the grounds of the hotel, it was transported to its present location at the Israel Museum in 2006.
For a labeled diagram of the model from the 1970's (when the model was still located at the hotel) see the Holylandnetwork.com site.
This is the part of the Israel Museum where some of the Dead Sea Scrolls are displayed.

Note: This location likely was not the site of the actual tomb of Jesus Christ. This is a much older tomb. However, it is a real tomb from Old Testament times in the general area of where Jesus was buried. It gives us a good idea of what it must have been like.
