However Golgotha, according to scriptures, was:
- Outside the city wall.
- Very near a gate leading into Jerusalem.
- Large enough for a large amount of People to gather there.
- Those standing there saw the temple curtain rip.
- Looked like the top part of a skull (Greek Kranion
- cranium).
Golgotha is on the other side of Jerusalem, outside the eastern wall, overlooking the temple ground. Today the gate is the Lion's gate, but at the time of Jesus it was the Sheep Gate. It is about one Kilometer east of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. (Refer to the links

Who was the chaldean king that captured Jerusalem?
The Assyrian Empire never captured Jerusalem; King Hezekiah of Judah was able to defend the city. This was an anomaly since most parts of Judah, including the #2 city of Lachish, were razed to the ground. The Bible credits Hezekiah's success to a Divine plague which decimated the Assyrian troops gathered outside of Jerusalem. King Sennacherib of Assyria's own documents argue that Jerusalem was allowed to be independent in order to taunt Hezekiah and force him to pay Sennacherib an exorbitant tribute. The Assyrian description makes far less sense since the Assyrians believed in expansionist foreign policy instead of simply reinstating enemy city states.
If you want the name of the Assyrian Leader who led the assault on Jerusalem and the rest of the Kingdom of Judah, that was KING SENNACHERIB.
