Highlight Films presents the new documentary film, Palace of King David, in production in Israel since 2005.
Warrior, poet, saint and sinner, song writer and Hollywood hero, the Biblical figure of King David continues to fire the imagination over 3000 years after his death. Unfortunately, as with many Biblical figures, the evidence to prove that King David actually existed in anywhere but the imagination just isn't there. Or wasn't, until eight months ago. Now, thanks to the revelatory findings of archaeologist Dr Eilat Mazar, world authority on Jerusalem's past, we will all have to revise our opinion that David belongs solely in the pages of the Bible. Carried out under heavy security and in the utmost secrecy, Mazar's excavations in the shadow of Jerusalem's Temple Mount will rock the archaeological world to its very foundations. For lying undisturbed for over three thousand years, a mere stone's throw from the Western Wall, and in the heart of the City of David, Mazar and her team have unearthed a 'monumental structure' of truly massive proportions. We found the remains of a building made of very large stones. The size of the stones and the wall they form indicate a large scale plan of national proportions. Given the strategic importance of the area, there is just no way that this was a private house.
For Mazar and her team, this monumental structure holds, not one, but two, exciting possibilities: the Palace of David, King of Greater Israel, or, if not his palace, then his fortress, the Citadel of Zion. Palace or fortress, the implications for archaeology, not to mention theology, are earth-shattering. From the very first spadeful of earth, Mazar, Minicam in hand, has documented each stage in the excavations. Now, having been granted total exclusivity, our production crew is on-site to film the growing excitement as startling new evidence of the origins of King David's five-hundred year dynasty is brought to light. Eilat Mazar is about to take the archaeological world by storm. But the fallout will not stop there…King David is about to step into history. Will you be there to meet him?
