Kuvubukulwe irisidi letshe leminyaka eyizi-2000 endaweni yemivubukulo yoMuzi KaDavide eJerusalema. Ikhonjwa njengengxenye yenkathi yokuqala yamaRoma edolobheni (37 BC - AD 70), ithebhulethi iqukethe amarekhodi entengiselwano yasendulo yezezimali, kusho i-Israel Antiquities Authority.
Itshe litholakale enqwabeni yemfucumfucu ngesikhathi kumbiwa ngo-2016 kuPilgrimage Road, umgwaqo omkhulu owawuvame ukuhamba ngaleso sikhathi. Ngasekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yokuqala yeminyaka, lapho iJerusalema nezindawo ezizungezile kuyisifundazwe soMbuso WaseRoma, cishe lo mgwaqo wawuyisikhungo sezohwebo, ngokwezinto ezatholwa ngaphambili zezisindo zamatshe namatafula okulinganisa okungenzeka ukuthi ayeyingxenye yezentengiselwano zasendulo.
Umgwaqo wawunwebeka cishe ingxenye yesithathu yemayela (amamitha angu-600), uhlanganisa isango ledolobha laseJerusalema namasango eNtaba Yethempeli kanye neThempeli Lesibili, amaRoma alibhubhisa ngo-AD 70.
Imigqa eyisikhombisa elondolozwe ingxenye yalo mbhalo ihlanganisa izingcezu zamagama esiHebheru anezinhlamvu nezinombolo ezibhalwe eceleni kwawo.
Omunye umugqa uhlanganisa isiphetho segama elithi “Shimoni” kulandele uhlamvu lwesiHeberu elithi “mem”, kanti kweminye imigqa kunezimpawu ezimelela izinombolo. Ezinye zezinombolo zandulelwa ukubaluleka kwazo ngokwezomnotho, futhi ziphawulwe ngohlamvu lwesiHeberu elithi “mem”, isifinyezo sika-ma’ot (“imali” ngesiHeberu).
Kungenzeka ukuthi noma ubani owakha umbhalo wesiHeberu oqoshiwe wasebenzisa ithuluzi elibukhali esivalweni setshe likashoki. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abavubukuli basathola ukuthi ubani “uShimoni”.
