In 1980, the [[Talpiot Tomb]] aka [[Jesus Family Tomb]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jesusfamilytomb.com/|title=Jesus Tomb *Official Site* The Lost Tomb of Jesus|website=jesusfamilytomb.com}}</ref> was discovered. This very controversial archaeological site contained nine [[ossuaries]] inscribed with "Y'shua bar Yosef"/Jesus son of Joseph and other family members.

===Tayelet===

Connecting East Talpiot and Talpiot is the Haas Promenade ({{Script/Hebrew|הטיילת}}&nbsp;– ''ha-Tayelet''). Together with the Sherover and Goldman Promenades, the three form a continuous public park from the Government House used by the UN <ref>https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/349208</ref> and Jabl Mukabar to the east to [[Abu Tor]] to the north. From this vantage point atop a ridge overlooking Jerusalem's Old City and the [[Dead Sea]], tradition holds{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}} that [[Abraham]] was shown [[Moriah|Mount Moriah]] as the site for the [[binding of Isaac]] as recorded in the [[Bible]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2022:%209-11;&version=31; |title=Genesis 22: 9–11 |publisher=Biblegateway.com |access-date=October 11, 2011}}</ref> Hidden under this ridge are the remains of an [[aqueduct (watercourse)|aqueduct]] built by [[Herod the Great]] to bring water from the south, by way of his summer palace [[Herodium]], to the [[Second Temple]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ksm-a.com/english/Product.aspx?Product=47&Category=8 |title=Rhoda Goldman Promenade |publisher=Ksm-a.com |access-date=October 11, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713172642/http://www.ksm-a.com/english/Product.aspx?Product=47&Category=8 |archive-date=July 13, 2011 }}</ref>

This area was a no man's land in the period between the establishment of the [[State of Israel]] in 1948 and the [[reunification of Jerusalem]] in 1967. At one end of the promenade, on the Hill of Evil Counsel, is the [[United Nations]] Middle East Headquarters, located in the former Palace of the British High Commissioner (''Armon HaNetziv'').

The Jerusalem [[Peace Forest]] descends along the slope below the Promenade. The Jerusalem municipality plants a tree in this forest for every child born in Jerusalem{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}, representing the eternal hope of peace bridging the Arab and Jewish populations.

Every year, on the 29th day of Heshvan, the [[Ethiopian Jewish]] community gathers at the Promenade to mark the [[Sigd]] holiday.<ref>{{cite web|last=Farada |first=Ayanawu |url=http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=652764 |title=Thousands of Ethiopians celebrate Sigad holiday |publisher=Haaretz.com |access-date=October 11, 2011}}</ref>
