Look. There are a number of worthy causes out there. Even within archaeology, there is important research that needs to be funded all over the world. I talk a lot about the gifts on our website, but here is the truth. The Sifting Project has a special place in my heart because it has arisen against adversity for the sole purpose of trying to share the unknown, unexcavated history of the Temple Mount, one of the holiest places on earth to more than half the world’s population, with those exact people. So, in short, here is my answer.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n You should support our project because through us, you can ensure that facts, reality, and the heritage of all people who connect with the Temple Mount; Jews, Christians, and Muslims, is protected and shared. Ignorance feeds conflict and dispute, while knowledge helps us better understand our common past. I truly believe that having a better, more scientific understanding of the Temple Mount can only aid us in our path toward understanding and eventually peace.<\/p>\n The Temple Mount Sifting Project\u2019s finds represent the first-ever<\/em><\/strong> archaeological data originating from within the Temple Mount because no proper excavation has ever been done there due to religious and political concerns. These concerns are valid. This is why the Sifting Project offers an amazing opportunity to archaeologically understand the history beneath the surface of the Temple Mount.<\/p>\n Our research has the ability to challenge theories, clarify understandings, and present the factual data about the history of the Temple Mount. We can undermine the Temple Denial movement; but only if our facts and research are shared with the scientific community and the public.<\/p>\n Our mission<\/strong> is to publish at least 3 volumes of our research on the Temple Mount\u2019s history, special finds, coins, and pottery in 2018. We want our scientific research to encourage educated discussion on the history of the Temple Mount.<\/p>\n As a member of the global community, it is your responsibility<\/strong> to preserve this heritage. This is your chance to take part in revealing Jerusalem\u2019s ancient past. You can ensure that facts, reality, and the heritage of all people who feel connected to the Temple Mount is protected and shared. This is why you should support the Sifting Project, but also why you should give toward our research.<\/p>\n![\"staff-join-us\"](\"\/\/tmsifting.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/staff-join-us.jpg?w=300\")
