Limited surface surveys and no archaeological excavations of the Temple Mount have been conducted since 1867-70 due to religious and political sensitivities. Many feel there is no archaeological evidence to support the existence of Solomon’s Temple. However, others state there is plenty of Biblical evidence. This program will investigate both scientific and biblical views of an icon, which has shaped many western ideas.
