We're here alone. And uh What does this trip mean to you? >> This The trip has been amazing, but this spot right here, every time, just it gives me goosebumps when you just you're met you know you you've envisioned all the people coming from the bottom up to Yerushalayim to the base of mikdash bringing their animals, their korbanos, hordes of people, the marketplaces full.

Just to envision what it was like to live in that time and to realize the miracle that we have to be back here, to be excavating it, to finding it. >> It's a religious experience. >> And for me also, you could be down here
