The Tyropoeon Valley, meaning Valley of the Cheesemakers in Greek, is the name the first century historian Josephus gave to a ravine that once separated Jerusalem's Temple Mount from the Western Hill, or Mount Zion, before emptying into the Valley of Hinnom. Bridges once spanned it, including the Zion Bridge linking the royal palace and temple, and the Western Wall rose an estimated 84 feet above its floor. Modern scholars also call it the Central Valley of Jerusalem, and it has been filled with debris accumulated over many centuries.
