When The Stones Speak

This is the untold story of the rediscovery of Jerusalem’s City of David and the evidence proving the Jewish people’s indigenous and historical connection to their land.

Since 1948, Israel has faced not only wars across its borders but a persistent effort to sever Jews from their past and portray them as outsiders.

One thing, however, stands in the way of the denialists: the 3,800-history of the city of David, a site lying just south of the Old City. Archaeoligists at the site are unearthing evidence that proves the Jewish people’s origin story in the land for over three millennia. Each layer confirms that the Jewish people are among the most deeply rooted nations on earth.

Doron Spielmann tells the story of those who transformed the City of David from a neglected ridge into a leading archaeological site, despite sustained attempts to bury its findings. This book foreshadows the events and historical denialism that unfolded with Hamas’ attack on Israel on 7 October 2023.
