Second Temple description

Second Temple

Step into ancient Jerusalem in 65 AD, at the height of its splendor, with a meticulously researched reconstruction spanning a 3km by 3km map. At the heart rises the awe-inspiring Second Temple, offering a living backdrop for your journey through daily worship, bustling markets, and sacred ceremonies.

Choose your path from three distinct roles, each with its own goals and perspective. Explore the city as a pilgrim, merchant, or priest, or roam freely to soak in the sights and sounds of a pivotal era.

  • Priest: awaken in the Chamber of the Hearth and participate in a daily lottery that assigns sacred duties. From offering incense (the coveted Ketoret) to assisting in the Tamid sacrifice, your tasks illuminate the rhythms of temple life.
  • Pilgrim: travel the pilgrimage road to the Temple, navigate vibrant streets, prepare offerings, and observe ancient rituals such as mikveh purification. Learn the boundaries and privileges granted to pilgrims as you strive toward the heart of the Temple.
  • Merchant: wake up to a bustling market along the pilgrimage route. Set up your stall, trade with visitors, manage resources, and compete for attention as travelers journey toward sacred rites and ceremonies.

Key features deliver an immersive, historically grounded experience:

  • Authentic recreation of Jerusalem and the Second Temple, with a living 3km x 3km environment.
  • Playable roles—Pilgrim, Merchant, Priest—each offering unique goals and viewpoints.
