About this listen

This is the untold story of the rediscovery of the ancient City of David in Jerusalem and the powerful evidence that proves the Jewish people’s historical and indigenous connection to the Holy Land.

Since the founding of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have faced nine wars against multiple enemies. Yet, beyond the physical conflicts, a deeper ideological battle has been waged against Israel and the Jewish people. This war, crafted by certain Arab leaders and echoed by international organizations like the United Nations, seeks to erase the Jewish people’s ancestral ties to the land, casting them as outsiders, imposters, and “settlers.”

One thing, however, stands in the way of the denialists: the 3,800-year history of the City of David, a site lying just south of the Old City. Archeologists at the site are unearthing evidence that proves the Jewish people’s origin story in the land for over three millennia. Every shovel of dirt reveals that while others may claim to be indigenous to Jerusalem, the Jewish people are, in fact, more indigenous to the Land of Israel than perhaps any other group living anywhere in the world.

This is the timely story of those who transformed City of David from a neglected hilltop village into one of the most important archeological heritage sites in the world, while facing powerful global institutions and terror groups that would do almost anything to keep this truth hidden. Highly relevant to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book foreshadows the events and historical denialism that unfolded with Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“Doron Spielman is an indispensable voice in a dark time. His new book is a vital and inspiring read.”—Ben Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author and DailyWire co-founder

“Doron Spielman takes readers on a thrilling journey into one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of our time. When the Stones Speak uncovers profound truths about the ancient roots of the Jewish people. While the uninformed may challenge this connection, this book provides irrefutable evidence that the Jewish nation uniquely is indigenous to the Land of Israel.”—David Friedman, former United States Ambassador to Israel

“A groundbreaking account of the courageous people and the precious site that proved to the world the truth of Israel’s biblical past. Doron Spielman, soldier and scholar, takes us through the extraordinary story of the City of David and what it means for Israel and its supporters today. A riveting and inspiring read.”—Dr. Michael Oren, Israel's former Ambassador to the United States

When the Israeli is given a voice, I am astounded that the meddling of international do gooders, have tried to suffocate the legitimate historical right for the indigenous peoples Jews have a right to exist, live peacefully. No matter what Israel says, international pressure will remain antisemitic. Well narrated with no holds barred.

Was great to hear a first hand account of this precious find. Fantastically presented. What a ride. Shows the unbroken bond between the Jewish people and the land of Israel and highlights those that seek to destroy that bond.

Incredible book
