Rafi Greenberg

Rafi Greenberg (Rafael) is a senior lecturer in archaeology at Tel Aviv University.[1]

Ph.D. – Hebrew University, 1997 M.A. – Hebrew University, 1987 B.A. – Hebrew University, 1981

Greenberg is the leading critic of the archaeological digs now underway at the Ophel, in Jerusalem. [2][3][4]

Greenberg founded an organization called An Alternative Archaeological Tour of Ancient Jerusalem, to present his views of the ancient finds in the area of the Ophel. [5] He explained to a reporter that "Archeology is all about interpretation. The findings don't speak for themselves, archeologists speak for them." [6]
