In 1967, a coalition of Arab states attacked the Jewish nation of Israel. It sparked the Six-Day War, in which the Jews achieved a miraculous victory and gained control of the Old City of Jerusalem. This opened up the field of archaeology in that city.
Benjamin Mazar, a professor at Hebrew University, formed a partnership with Herbert W. Armstrong, chancellor of Ambassador College in Pasadena, California, to establish one of the most significant excavations ever undertaken in the Holy City. It was unprecedentedly massive. They called it “the big dig.”
