She;s been working there for years, and thanks to pottery and other clues, is able to pinpoint the dating of stuff there to within 50 years or so. | |
| Aug 24, 2017 at 0:40 | comment | added | Gary | There is a guy named Robert Cornuke who wrote a book about his theory of the Temple being south of the Mount. He describes himself as a Biblical archaeologist, but has no formal training(surprise!) and is the President of the "Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration Institute". Some of his points are listed on a Xtian site page: waytojesus.org/site-solomons-temple-south-temple-mount . There may be a renegade archaeologist or two with the same theory, but it's pretty much impossible, since real archaeologists have uncovered the wide staircases of ascent going UP to the Mount. | |
