Akeldama: Jerusalem's Field of Blood

Join us as we venture into one of the most mysterious, interesting, and dangerous places we've ever visited in Israel—Akeldama, the Field of Blood. This site, believed to be an ancient cemetery bought with the money used to betray Jesus, remains largely unexcavated and highly volatile. We'll delve into the history and significance of this area, its eerie ancient burial chambers, and the surrounding political sensitivities. With discoveries of tombs possibly belonging to figures like Annas and Caiaphas, high priests from Jesus' time, we navigate through a web of history, prophecy, and archaeological puzzles.
