Greenberg is the leading critic of the archaeological digs now underway at the Ophel, in Jerusalem.
Greenberg founded an organization called An Alternative Archaeological Tour of Ancient Jerusalem, to present his views of the ancient finds in the area of the Ophel. He explained to a reporter that "Archeology is all about interpretation. The findings don't speak for themselves, archeologists speak for them."
