FIRST EDITION

"Between 1867 and 1870 General Sir Charles Warren (1840-1927) carried out explorations in Palestine which form the basis for our knowledge of the topography of ancient Jerusalem and the archaeology of the Temple Mount. In addition to his explorations on, under, and around the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sherif, Warren surveyed the Plain of Philistia and carried out important reconnaisance of central Jordan. Perhaps the most enduring contribution of Warren's explorations was bringing to light the topography of Jerusalem, which lay hidden beneath thick layers of debris. Warren’s descriptions and drawings of the topography of Jerusalem and of its ancient walls are still used by archaeologists. The portfolio of plates is today simply referred to as the "Warren Atlas."
