"IT'S IDENTITY WITH THE SITE OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE IS BEYOND DISPUTE" This text was written in 1925 by the Muslims that controlled Temple Mount in a their guidebook (photo 7) of Temple Mount. It gives an insight in how they looked at history during the British Mandate. Clearly their own scholars confirmed modern archaeology that this was the site of the original Solomon's Temple (Photo 1), the temple of the Jewish people. [https://lnkd.in/eewgVSfx] And for all who like to read more on archaeological finds related to this holy site for Judaism below there's a list. But first everyone should understand that several passages in the Hebrew Scriptures/ Bible indicate that during the time when they were written, the Temple Mount was identified as Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Without question, the Temple in Jerusalem and it's destruction are of major significance for Judaism! For example all synagogues around the world are designed to have their congregation face and pray towards Jerusalem! A timeline of remarkable archaeological findings: ○ The Immer Bulla (2), a seal dated to the 7th-6th century BCE, bearing the names "lyahu" and "Immer", the name of a well known Biblical priestly family, of which one member is recorded as a major office holder in the Temple. [https://lnkd.in/eKZK59PB] ○ More than 7000 Coins (!) dating from the 6th century BCE untill the First Jewish Revolt coinage (70 CE) and even up until the Middle Ages. Photo 3 shows Yehud coins, dating to the Persian occupation.[see https://lnkd.in/e93VSNX6] ○ Dozens of multi-colored opus sectile tiles (4) of various shapes, which enabled a reconstruction of the tiling patterns employed in the courtyards of Herod's Temple (1st Century BCE) [https://lnkd.in/efbVjhPQ] ○ Trumpeting Stone (5), is an inscribed stone from the 1st century CE discovered next to the southern wall of the Temple Mount. The stone, showing just two complete words written in the Square Hebrew alphabet, is believed to be a directional sign for the priests who blew a trumpet announcing the beginning and end of the Shabbat in the Second Temple period. [https://lnkd.in/eceJBUh5] ○ 9th century Arabic inscription visible at a Mosque in Hebron. This 'NUBA inscription' identifies the Dome of the rock as "Bayt al Maqdis" or "Beit haMikdash" in Hebrew. Just like the 1925 guidebook this finding confirms that early Muslims were aware of the Temple Mount's significance as the site of the Jewish Temple.
