The motto of World of the Bible is “Bringing the World of the Bible to the Word of the Church”. This has been Dr. Price’s aim now for 33 years and he has accomplished this in teaching, writing books, producing videos filmed in Israel, and annual tours to Israel, and leading actual biblical archaeology at Qumran the site of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery. For many years on these tours to Israel he has taken his tour groups to the Temple Mount Sifting Project to have hands-on experience for a couple of hours in actual archaeology by sifting the soil that had been removed  from underneath the Temple Mount platform* for the chance for his tour groups to uncover artifacts from the whole history of the Temple Mount.

This has been a great experience for all who have had the opportunity and several people have actually sifted out some significant artifacts out of the soil such as coins from the 2nd Temple period. Of course, these artifacts went to the Israeli Antiquities Authority but it was exciting to make the find! In relation to this unique Israel tour experience, a new antiquity memento website has been launched from Israel: https://templemountsoil.org/4u534MC 

Dr. Price is representing this Israeli company and its keepsake products to Christians in the United States.  The website promotes awareness of the ancient and modern Temple Mount by providing the opportunity for the first time to own a sample of soil directly from the Temple Mount. This serves as a reminder that this sacred Land of Israel has God’s unbreakable promise to one day rule the world in peace, righteousness and justice from this site (Zechariah 14:8-9).

An additional purpose is to use a portion of the sales of the product to support the Temple Mount Sifting Project in Jerusalem, from which the samples of soil are taken. Thus, this project will be a reminder of both our Christian hope in the coming of the Lord to restore Israel and support new archaeological discovery related to the history of the Temple Mount. Please take a look at the website and enjoy owning a part of biblical history, the promise of prophecy, and help support archaeological work in Israel. If you cannot come to Jerusalem with us, let a historical part of Jerusalem come to you!

* This soil was removed inappropriately by the Muslim authorities without proper archaeological care but was not allowed to be discarded by Israel without archaeological examination.
