This is the pretty-looking Dung Gate. Apparently, named because that was the way all the rubbish was taken out of Jerusalem and into the Hinom valley.
Faith Lesson:
The Hinom valley is the valley where all the garbage was dumped. It is a "picture" of hell. Mark 9:48, "their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched."
We didn't go through the nice gate but through a "hole in the wall" These walls are from the 16th century, but they are built on top of older walls that were leveled during one of the many wars.
First stop inside the walls: the Bathrooms!
They livened them up with colourful paper.
Getting closer to the Temple Mount
We went through a check point - seperate entrances for men and women.
