For the first time, scientists have significant evidence of everyday Jewish life in 1st century Galilee, the home of Jesus of Nazareth. Indeed, no archaeological site brings us closer to the concrete world of Jesus than does Yodefat. The early morning mists described by Josephus 2,000 years ago still hang over Yodefat today. The on-site experts included scholars of history, religion, photography, archeology and those trained in ancient architecture. Yodefat is one of a handful of excavations to use auto-cad computer imaging to get a clear view of the site inside and out.
