If you are correct then how is it that the Jewish leaders and the Sanhedrin are not aware of it. Why do they all still pray at the western wall??
The Videos are mostly from Christian Archaeologists, and the Jews are a automatically suspicious of anything from Christians. The Videos after Jan. 2019 have MORE PROOF IN THEM than earlier videos, they have unearthed some amazing finds in the City of David. So start with this Video from Nov. 17th, 2019.
Now to give you some of the background, without you having to go thru, all of my Posts; but I welcome you if you are that interested.
The TEMPLE prior to 70 A.D. would have taken up about this space on the Southern part of the Ophel.
After the Romans as a final act of their 70 A.D. SIEGE, TORE DOWN every stone of the TEMPLE, which was in the Southern part of the Ophel, and most of the Jerusalem. It looked as if it was a plowed field. We according to JOESEPHUS the Historian, an eye witness, (JEWS THINK HE EXAGGERATES), reports that the Temple was all gone and including the foundation stones. So that ONLY the Fortress Antonia, the largest building left in Jerusalem and the City of David, remained on the next higher Hill, where it Housed the Roman 10th Legion, some 6000 Troops and 4000 support Staff. The reason so many support staff, as it was the size of several cities, with stores, Roman Baths, Hospital, and such, so every need of the Troops were right there. Then sometime between 70 A.D. and 132 A.D. the ROMANS built a Temple to the Roman god Jupiter, WHERE THE JEWISH TEMPLE ONCE STOOD.
The Romans tore down every stone that was part of the TEMPLE COMPLEX in 70 AD. THEN, in 132 the Simon bar Kokhba started a REVOLT, because the Romans built a Temple to Jupiter on that real Temple Mount, and he successfully kicked the Romans Out of the Country of Israel. In 132 - 135 A.D. the leader of the Revolt became
Prince Simon bar Kokhba. Because Simon considered the entire Temple Mount defiled by that pagan Temple, so Simon bar Kokhba, who became Prince over the Jewish State after kicking the Romans out, he ordered in 132 A.D. the Temple Mount (including the Ophel) turned into a rock quarry to remove the defiled bed rock. It may have been lowered several feet or even meters. So the Ophel, or Mount Zion was lowered to almost ground level.
Then the Romans retook the Country in late 135 A.D. Massacred thousands in the Jerusalem, including Simom, and the war went on until 136 A.D. According to
Cassius Dio, 580,000 Jews were killed in overall war operations across the country, and
some 50 fortified towns and 985 villages razed to the ground, while those who perished by famine, disease and fire was past finding out. So costly was the Roman victory that the Emperor Hadrian, when reporting to the
Roman Senate, did not see fit to begin with the customary greeting “If you and your children are healthy, it is well; I and the legions are healthy.” Most of the Jews where exiled out of the country, and the Romans renamed Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina in 135 A.D.
So the JEWS were out of the country, for the most part, until 476 A.D. They forgot that Prince Simon had ordered the Mount Zion lowered to ground level, because the ground was defiled, by the time they Returned to Jerusalem. They has a large group of senior RABBI's trying the figure out where Mount Zion was and the TEMPLE. They had 4 opinions, so they VOTED ON IT, and the chose the Wrong Mount. Had there been a record Kept, but the Romans destroyed almost everything. So a VOTE chose the Temple Mount, only because they HOPED the Piece of Wall that Remained, was, they Hoped, was the west wall of Temple; but recent discovers has found it should the west wall of Fortress Antonia. How do you tell the Jews that they have been Praying at the wrong wall ever since 476 A.D.
