The Ancient Location Of The Solomonic, Hasmonean and Herodian Temples
Youtube Video: “Must See New Evidence that Proves the Temple was on the Temple Mount Over the Dome of the Rock!” Posted 12-15-2022 by HolyLandSite. This video provides the most comprehensive and complete evidence that proves the original temple of Solomon, and the rebuilt temples of Zerubbabel and Herod the Great, were located on the Temple Mount, exactly where the Dome of the Rock is today. Today, some are promoting the theory that the Temple was in the City of David and that the Temple Mount was a Roman Fort. We will answer each of their arguments with facts, the Bible, archeology, and eyewitness accounts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgCOoQbK2CM

Website: The Blessing of the Silver Scrolls. Excavations in Jerusalem in 1979–80 by Gabriel Barkay turned up two amulets dating from the late seventh century BC.1 They were found in the fourth of several burial caves he discovered on an escarpment known as Ketef Hinnom, which overlooks the Hinnom Valley (Gehenna) just opposite Mt. Zion. Each amulet contained a rolled-up sheet of silver which, when unrolled, revealed the Priestly Benediction inscribed on them. The exact Hebrew words (translated into English) are:
May Yahweh bless you and keep you;
May Yahweh cause his face to
Shine upon you and grant you
Peace (Coogan 1995: 45). http://www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2010/01/06/The-Blessing-of-the-Silver-Scrolls.aspx#Article

From DOXA, Christian Thought In The 21st Century: Validity Of LXX For Messianic Prophecy. “Most scholars saw the LXX as inferior to the Hebrew Bible called the Masoretic Text (MT). With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, this all has changed. Ancient Hebrew scrolls were found that follow the LXX, not the Masoretic Text. The DSS showed that the LXX had an underlying Hebrew text that was different from the MT”. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ydnd3ji7xuvqjas/LXX%20is%20closer%20to%20the%20Dead%20Sea%20Scrolls%20than%20is%20the%20Masorectic%20Txt.pdf?dl=0
