This Temple location is in accordance with the many sources available to us. The scriptures. The many maps, drawn up by the early explorers of the 1800's that were allowed to enter the underground passages. Josephus, a Jewish historian, that not only grew up in Jerusalem, but recorded the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. Also the Jewish information contained in the Mishnah concerning the aqueduct. And of course the ruins and many artifacts uncovered by archaeologist, Benjamin Mazar, and now through his grand daughter, Eilat Mazar. I created this as if a model built on a green table top, only in this case you get to enter and walk through, and fly over, that model. The model is designed according to the map below with the lower court on the Ophel outside the south wall of the Temple Mount as it is today.
