Photo: Antiquities Exposed by Arab Digging on Temple Mount
[WorldNetDaily] Aaron Klein - A photo of a massive trench the Islamic authorities are digging on the Temple Mount - Judaism's holiest site - shows what appears to be a chopped up carved stone from Jewish Temple-era antiquity. Archaeologist Eilat Mazar analyzed the photo and said it might be part of a Jewish Temple wall Israeli archaeologists charge the Muslim authorities found and have been attempting to destroy. If authenticated, the wall would be one of the most important Temple Mount archaeological discoveries in recent history. "It certainly looks like Second Temple antiquity and could very well be part of a Second Temple courtyard wall," Mazer said. "It's crucial this wall is inspected. The Temple Mount ground level is only slightly above the original Temple Mount platform, meaning anything found is likely from the Temple itself," she said.
