There are two Golgotha locations. The "Skull Hill" at this location is simply a rock outcropping that somewhat resembles a face, not a skull. Check the TripAdvisor photos. There is what appears to be a nose. Um… Skulls don't have noses. Whoever promotes this "attraction" does so as a tourist trap. It can't be called Golgotha because this is not the site, the reason the name Skull Hill with Golgotha in parenthesis. Keep in mind that streets of 2k years ago are now covered by 20 feet of stone and dirt, as evidenced by the Roman Cardo--the main street. (Cardo is a Latin word that means main artery, as in cardio.) Even the Western Wall plaza is far above the foundation, and the tunnels didn't exist 2k years ago--the passageways were simply exposed alleys.

Susanne: I researched this site on the Web. Historians and archaeologist concur that it is not likely the site of the crucifixion. What is called Skull Hill (notice that the official name is not Golgotha) today somewhat looks like sunken eyes and a rock outcropping that appears to be a nose. That should tell you something. A skull has no nose cartilage or bridge, just a gaping hole where tissue once covered. Skull Hill looks more like a face, not a skull. Enter the following phrase in a search engine: "where is the site believed to be the crucifixion of Jesus" The publication Bible History Daily suggests that it is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, though some historians dispute that. Keep in mind that 2,000 years ago, the topography of Jerusalem was much different than it is today. The most stunning evidence of this I found was The Cardo, a Roman street 20 feet below today's street level. Cardo has been excavated, but only the stone street and some columns remain. Much of Jerusalem was covered over, so a street leading to Skull Hill today is not likely to be the crucifixion site. The three crosses would have had to be pegged into limestone. There are no excavations at this site to suggest this. This may be some opportunist's attempt to bilk tourists by calling it Skull Hill, instead of Golgotha.
