While it's not unusual to hear about archaeological finds in the Holy Land, but this on is kind of curious. Archaeologists digging in Jerusalem have discovered a 3,700-year-old wall that is said to be the largest and oldest of its kind found in the region.
The huge wall stands 26 feet high and the size of the stones to construct it have archaeologists puzzled. You can watch the CNN video below to see the wall and the size of the stones.
