My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.

Speaking of the Temple Mount, have a look at this report:
October 18, 2007
For the First Time, Archaeological Remains dated to the First Temple Period have been Discovered on the Temple Mount
Archaeological Inspection by the Israel Antiquities Authority over Works of the Waqf has Uncovered Remnants of the First Temple Period (Iron Age IIB)
During a recent archaeological inspection of the Temple Mount, carried out by the Israel Antiquities Authority on the maintenance work of the Waqf, an apparently sealed archaeological level dated to the First Temple Period was exposed in the area close to the south-eastern corner of the raised platform surrounding the Dome of the Rock. Archaeological examination of a small section of this level, undertaken by Yuval Baruch, the Jerusalem District Archaeologist, uncovered finds that included fragments of ceramic table wares and animal bones. The finds are dated from the eighth to the sixth centuries BCE.
Yuval Baruch of the IAA, Prof. Sy Gitin, Director of the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, Prof. Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University and Prof. Ronny Reich of Haifa University examined the finds and the archaeological data and reached the conclusion that the characteristics and location of the finds may aid scholars in reconstructing the dimensions and boundaries of the Temple Mount during the First Temple Period.
The finds include fragments of bowl rims, bases and body sherds; the base of a juglet used for the ladling of oil; the handle of a small juglet and the rim of a storage jar. The bowl sherds were decorated with wheel burnishing lines characteristic of the First Temple Period. In addition, a piece of a white washed handmade object was found. It may have been used to decorate a larger object or may have been part of a figurine.
An archaeological seminar concerning these finds and their archaeological interpretation will be organized by the Israel Antiquities Authority.
