Notice that the place where the Holy of Holies was once located has nothing built above it!
The Dome of the Rock platform was the place where Fort Antonia once stood.

Diagram of Herod Temple
 

 The Temple Mount compound was completed by Agrippa II and 18,000 laborers were left workless (see Jewish Antiquities, 20, I, G).
They asked if they could rebuild the east wall of Solomon and Herod Agrippa said no.


The Ophel area in front of the Mount south wall has been excavated.
The beautiful buildings built by Herod, that Jesus said not one stone would be left upon another, including the Temple itself,
were all completely torn down.
