Secrets of Jerusalem's Temple Mount

This book investigates the historical and archaeological details of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, exploring how ancient texts, architectural remnants, and modern reconstructions can illuminate the design and function of Solomon’s and Herod’s Temples. The Ritmeyers walk the reader through stone by stone—considering the Quarry, the gates, the platform, and the location of sacred features like the Holy of Holies and the Ark’s resting place. Their accessible style and visual aids make complex architectural and archaeological information engaging for both scholars and lay readers alike.
