Two Moslem buildings holds proof of Jewish temples
A People have been speculating about a large exposed piece of bedrock at the center of the Moslem Dome of the Rock building, a major mystery for centuries-- what was the relationship of the rock to the site of the destroyed Jewish temple building? Incorporated in the location and size of the rock and its overlaying octagonal building, is evidence for this solution. The rock also holds the solution of six other mysteries concerning the Jewish temple, by using nothing more then a piece of string: where was the 500 Cubit square in relation to the temple, how was the square first laid out, where did the 187 and 135 Cubit dimensions of the Inner courtyard come from, where were two peripheral building zones and a sacred barrier, where were the gates of the inner courtyards located, and what if anything, was located at the spot marking the exact center of the present Moslem building? The Moslem building of today holds keys for locating the Jewish temple of yesterday. First some background: Herod’s Temple stood on the summit of the Temple Mount within the 500C square which fronted on the Kidron Valley. Herod’s temple was a ‘T” shaped structure built within the western part of a 187 (E to W) by 135 (S to N) Cubit Inner Courtyard. The 100 Cubit building centered on the 135C center line with 17.5Cubits remaining on either side. A large central room called the Holy Place was 20 Cubits wide, so that the centerline of the building was 10 Cubits from the northern and southern edges of the room. A Table of Showbread existed within this room. The best place mathematically to put the Table of Showbread would have been 5 cubits north of the center line, half way between the central line and the northern wall. (Likewise a Menorah would have been placed in mirror image 5 cubits south of the center line). Then the distance from the southern edge of the building to the Table of Showbread would have been 55 (C)ubits. The Holy of Holies was a 20C square area west of the Holy Place. A 1C space separated the two rooms. A low stone was at the center of this room on which the Ark of the Covenant once was placed. The main building was 60C wide, with two extensions 20C wide at the eastern end, part of the Porch, making the entire width100C. The center line of the northern extension, had a room where the clean knifes used to slaughter the animals were stored. A staircase was built within a 22C space between the Porch and the Altar. A barrier and an adjacent narrow zone 10 Cubits wide called the Hal marked the boundary between two differing areas of sanctity. A 40C zone for buildings must have existed between the Hal and the Inner courtyard (not recorded in the ancient literature but the existence of buildings are recorded). Another 135 Cubit square was built east of this courtyard. Both courtyards were within a 500 Cubit square area. Four 40C squares courtyards were built either inside the corners of the 135 Cubit square, or outside but touching the four corners. The ancient portico called “Solomon’s Porch”, was built along the eastern edge of the 500 C square. A number of equidistant gates were built between the barrier, and the inner courtyard. There were 3 or 4 gates on the southern and northern sides of the inner courtyard. The barrier had 13 openings. A great 32C altar had to be constructed on an exact location. A ramp and the altar had to measure 62C. A 1C discrepancy was built on one corner of the altar’s base. The greatest area was south of the Inner Courtyard, the area east was smaller, the area north even smaller, and the smallest area was to the west. The key is in fig.1. A unique isosceles 72° triangle ABC having the ancient sacred golden ratio, 8:8:5 (approximately 1.6 which forms a pentacle and pentagon) was laid out whose short side, a line, was along the edge of the hill overlooking the Kidron Valley. Another long line of the triangle, a cord 8x (500C long) , where ‘x’ is 500/8 or 62.5C, was placed along this edge, so that the point 6x (3/4 the cord’s length) was placed at a precise spot I 11C east of the high western scarp of the rock, the summit of the hill. The intersection of these two lines, AF and BC, located C on the triangle. The right angle measured northward, 2.5x along the valley’s edge, would generate the apex B line of the triangle, and measuring another 2.5x northward would locate point A. Point I fixed the center axis line of the Temple, midway between the Table of Showbread J 5C to the north, and the Manorah (5 in fig.2) 5C to the south.
