Jerusalem: Walls of the Temple Mount

Jerusalem was originally a Canaanite city. Its earliest mention in the Bible dates back to the days of Abraham.

Remnants of a great arch show us where a bridge connected to the Temple Mount.

This great stone on the south side of the Temple date to the period of Herod the Great.

One stone found at the southwest corner of the Temple Mount had on it a Hebrew inscription saying, "To the Place of Trumpeting." It is thought that this stood at the pinnacle of the Temple complex where a trumpeter would annouce the times of the morning and evening sacrifices.
