Historical Background
1. The original Eastern Gate was built by Solomon or at a later date by Hezekiah. The ancient posts located inside the gate today, along with the stones beside the gate of the Eastern Wall, date back to this time period and would affirm its early existence and location at its present-day site.
2. It is very likely that Nehemiah rebuilt the Eastern Gate when he rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in around 444 BC. Some believe the original gate was then named the Eastern Gate by Nehemiah at this time.
3. Herod the Great then rebuilt the Eastern Gate in around 19 BC and added a stairway, or rebuilt an existing one that led up to the gate. This stairway ran alongside the Eastern Wall.
4. The best evidence suggests that the gate was then rebuilt during the Umayyad period (661–750 AD) on the foundations of the earlier gate dating to the time of Solomon or Hezekiah. Part of
