ON THE COVER: The golden Dome of the Rock rises above Jerusalem’s majestic Old City walls and the Damascus Gate (visible in the foreground). The auburn hills of the Judean Desert are seen in the background. This small city—holy to three major world religions—has been at the center of our coverage of Biblical archaeology for 200 issues and promises to be a source of many extraordinary finds and stories yet to come.
