The Rock is indeed wider than the Holy of Holies in Solomon's Temple, that is why one of the walls was built on the Rock, see The Quest, p.226. You should read about my research first, before drawing wrong conclusions.

It had to be flat as a floor in order to be a threshing floor so that one single point proves this is the wrong spot. Besides, just a quick measurement shows the rocks under the Dome fo the Rock are too big to fit the Temple building which was 20 cubits wide inside to inside or about 30 feet.

Wow!!! My grandfather was a fan of National Geographic. I remember his back room was full of them. I have not been impressed with the foundation of most of the other work because I believe in intelligent design. You would probably consider me a fundamentalist. This work as I see it is exact to the detail. Thank you for your investment in unadulterated history.

I was wondering if you had any comments regarding Ehud Netzer's article in the January/February 2009 edition of Biblical Archaeological review, where he reconstructs the Antonia Fortress? Thanks.

I remember opening it and thinking "Ahhh, this is why I get National Geographic." (And to think it happened at that conference!) I thought it resembled your work and looked for your name, but don't recall seeing it. It's good to hear you were involved- whenever I see a Temple Mount related piece, I look for your name to ensure that it's accurate! It’s a beautiful insert.
