“Lost Temple” is a journey into the archaeological history of Jerusalem, seeking evidence of the existence of the Jewish Temples and their place in history. Since the destruction of the last Temple in 70 CE, many have questioned whether the Jewish Temples ever existed, and many have sought evidence to prove that they did. Did the Temples of Solomon and Herod exist on the Temple Mount? This is the question that “Lost Temple” seeks to answer through expert testimony, historical texts and physical evidence.
“The purpose of this intentional destruction of evidence is in order to make it more difficult for Jews to say “this is how we know we were here.””
“The main goal of this whole process (of rebuilding the Temple) is building a house of prayer for all nations.”
“These large stones were actually part of the Temple Mount itself… (which) had been pushed over in the year 70 by the Romans.”
” And Josephus tells us that the flames blazing in the upper city were finally extinguished by the rivers of blood that were flowing in the streets. We’re talking about a tremendous massacre here.”
“In the tunnel where we were excavating we found a gold bell. Immediately I opened the Bible and read about the gold bell of the High Priest.”
“The Temple Mount is the most important archaeological site in this country. It was the focus of aspirations for people in antiquity as it was regarded as the foothold of God on Earth, as the meeting place of Heaven and Earth.”
