Some Historical Notes on the East Gate

 
After reading a comment that the Eastern Gate was built approximately a thousand years before 691AD when the Dome of the Rock was built, I did a little research.  I had always been under the assumption that the current wall around the old city was ALL constructed by Suleiman the Magnificient.  Here is what I found and the link to the article which included this quote:

" The East Gate or Golden Gate is the oldest of all the city’s gates. It is the only visible entrance to the city of Jerusalem from the east. It is the only gate of the Old City not rebuilt by Suleiman. This is evidenced by the monolithic stones in the wall which are just above the ground. These stones date to the 6th century B.C. from the time of Nehemiah."
