Temple Mount: Solomon's Stables
built 615 days ago
In the last year, the Arabs built two other large mosques on the Temple Mount. The mosques were built on holy sites that were part of the original Temple complex. One was built in the Hulda Tunnels which were the main entrance to the Second Temple. The other was built in the site of the so-called "Solomon's Stables", an important part of the Temple worship. Over the last years they have undertaken other Islamic building activities on the Temple Mount. During these activities they destroyed and covered holy remains from the First and Second Temples.

Recently, an unprecedented archeological find was made among the rubble removed from the Temple Mount. This rare discovery, made by archeologists Dr. Gabriel Barkay and Tzachi Sweig while sifting this rubble is a broken seal, impression, or bulla written in Hebrew from the time of the First Temple. It was discovered among the earth that the Arabs removed from the Temple Mount during illegal diggings in the area of Solomon's Stables on the Temple Mount. The discovering of the seal raised great excitement in Israel. The seal was made of baked mud and its size is less than one centimetre. It was drawn on a string that tied documents, certificates, and letters.

At the end of 1999 larger projects were embarked on with the building of an entrance to the Marawani mosque, the third mosque on the Temple Mount. It is located in the only existing construction from the time of Herod, the 'Solomon's Stables.' erHH They are not the real stables of Solomon, but they were interpreted so by the Crusaders who discovered the space in the Middle Ages and set it up as stables for horses. Solomon's Stables lie under the El Aqsa mosque, which was built later. To open the Solomon's Stables stairs and an entrance were needed.

"In November 1999, the Islamic authorities carried out a huge excavation of [the part of the Temple Mount known as Solomon's Stable]," Barkay said. "They built a modern entrance to the building instead of the existing entrance, and they dug a huge pit with the help of bulldozers and 300 [dump trucks] that removed the dirt from the earthen fills of this spot."
