So?
Very interesting. Surprised it's on NBC.
It's just some crusader era altar probably of Roman origin. I want the real Jerusalem Church of James not some Roman implant. This new "discovery" is a 1000 years post James.

Those triad swirls may be a artistic rendition of the Trinity concept. You do not pan out so I am left with tunnel vision to guess with.

All of you fools are gonna regret bothering The Lord's property. Should already be regretting as The Lord is destroying everything these upper echelon people think they own 🤣 he's gonna keep destroying until there's nothing left but Jerusalem. He knows man's plans and just know HE'S WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TIME TO ACT!
Oh wow this place looks like it took its art design from Elden Ring.
"They Drift" is clearly visible on the graffiti side.
