This valley is probably where,or near where, Nephi, Lehi, and their family lived before they left Jerusalem.
This is the "millo" that is mentioned in the scriptures a lot. It acted as a reinforcement wall. It probably supported the ground near a large building. Later on People built homes on the side of it. This is why you can see the outlines of old houses.
This is an actual excavation. People really want to dig in the City of David because a lot of historical events happened in this area. However it is extremely controversial because there are Palestinian homes all over the land people want to excavate on. So there are some people who are trying to excavate, while there are people who are trying to live in their homes that people are trying to dig under. This obvious creates a problem. In the above picture on the left you see armed guards. These guards are actually there for the excavators protection...just in case. I don't know how they are going to resolve this. I definitely see both sides of the argument.
