In front of Samuel and our tour guide Michael (Micha), is a 1:25 scale model of Jerusalem as it looked 2,000 years ago. It was a walled city of one square mile, twice the size of the currently surviving Old City. This model is nearly fifty years old and is revised as archeological excavations occur around the city. The model captures the Jewish apex of the city, with its golden Second Temple and the City of David.
