I have been very impressed by your work and have a number of your books and took photos of the models in DC. Excellent!!! Looking closely at the small drawing you have as a preview it appears that your drawing is before the construction of Solomon's Temple. The Great wall around the Temple Mount is missing. Also missed the great Royal Tombs at the south end of Ophel, and the siloam channel with "windows" into the Kidron gardens. Side issue never have seen any windows, open colonnade at the tope of the Temple wall so people could look out. The wall is so high they would not have harmed it as a defensive wall. I have not read that there were no openings for people to enjoy the view. It is possible that there were none to keep the focus inside on the Temple and not be distracted by the outside.
