Synopsis

“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.

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem is one of the most controversial and politically charged locations in the world. It may be the most significant religious structure in existence as it’s three-thousand-year history is shared by Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Jewish Temples of King Solomon and King Herod are believed by Jews and Christians to have stood on the Temple Mount; each subsequently destroyed by powerful forces on the same day more than six hundred years apart.

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.
