According to the Bible, King David conquered Jerusalem and built his palace there 3000 years ago. The City of David, an archaeological site in East Jerusalem, purports to be the place where that palace was. Trouble is, there's not much scientific evidence to support that theory. The controversy is not confined to academia - an entire Palestinian neighborhood, located right next to the ruins, is set to be razed in order to make way for the gardens of King David to be rebuilt.
