Abstract

The article challenges the traditional interpretation of the biblical Millo in Jerusalem, suggesting that it was not a massive retaining wall but a fortified structure related to the city's water source, the Gihon Spring. Topics include the archaeological evidence, the significance of water access, and how the Millo may have played a prominent role in the city's history during the time of the biblical kings.
