1862 map of Jerusalem showing the Valley of Tyropoeon
Tyropoeon Valley (Greek: φάραγξ τῶν τυροποιῶνpharanx tōn tyropoiōn i.e., "Valley of the Cheesemakers" or "Cheesemongers"), is the name given by the first-century Jewish-Roman historian Josephus (Wars 5.140) to the valley or rugged ravine, which in his times separated Jerusalem's Temple Mount (Mount Moriah) from the Western Hill or Mount Zion, and emptied into the valley of Hinnom.[1] In modern scholarly terms it is also known as the central valley/Central Valley of Jerusalem.[2]
