The Supposed Site of Holy Ark Solomon Never Knew

Discovered by Dr. Leen Ritmeyer, a number of features beneath the Dome of the Rock building on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, seems to confirm the designated place for the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy of Holies of Solomon’s temple or was it?

The validity of his theory becomes questionable if any alternative explanation can explain his observations. Here is a full alternative explanation which shows that his observations can be explained from the octagonal size and geometry of the overlaying building and from cords strung across piers and a single pillar within this same building.

Four Corners Temple Mount Laid Out From Golgotha Rock

The four corners of Herod’s Temple Mount could have been laid out from Golgotha Rock. A point on the rock, probably where the traditional site of the cross in now marked, would have been a landmark from which the distances to the four corners were located.

Also Herod’s tower by the Jaffa Gate was constructed at exactly were a structure could have been constructed measured from Golgotha Rock. A possible Masonic link may also exist.

Church Holy Sepulchre holds proof of Jerusalem temple location

The church of the Holy Sepulchre holds proof of Jerusalem temple location. This proof is not on the temple mount but to the west of it. The proof involves the Golgotha Hill, a rock landmark within the building. What does this landmark have to do with the temple to the east? Read my link below to find out. You must read my other two papers on the temple and the temple at Arad to get the necessary background before you read this paper.

You will read about alignments of major features on the temple mount of which this rock is part of the system. Click below to read the paper:

Mathematical proof for Jerusalem temple survey technique

I have added the mathematical proof for the Jerusalem Temple and Arad temple survey technique at the end of the paper written on the Jerusalem temple location. You can find it here.

Jerusalem Temple survey technique by using ropes

This proof illuminates the fact that what is presented can be laid out logically which reinforces my conviction this technique is no humbug.

How Arad Isrealite temple was laid out same as Jerusalem temple

The Isrealite temple At Tel Arad was laid out using ropes in same fashion as Jerusalem temple. This is archaeological support for my method describing the Jerusalem Temple. You can read the full account at this website.

new article on the secrets of Saint Peter’s Grave on the Vatican Hill

I have a new paper posted. It is about the secrets of Saint Peter’s grave on the Vatican Hill. You will learn how the site of Saint Peter’s execution relates to the site of his grave by a system of measuring cords laid on the ground. This system was used to lay of the Circus of Nero. the grave site, and later the first basilica at the Vatican. A number of sacred mysteries in both pagan and Christian religion beliefs also can be seen in this measuring design.

Learn how ancient legends, such as one concerning the ashes of Julius Caesar being in the ball on top of the circus obelisk holds a sacred mystery. See how graffiti drawn on the walls near the grave holds another sacred mystery.  Why did a pagan specify he be entombed near the circus? Was he an initiate into a sacred mystery?

How Ancients Used String to Lay Out Hezekiah’s Tunnel

Showing how Hezekiah’s Tunnel in Jerusalem could have been designed by using measuring cord strings laid on the surface of the ground. The design of the strings would create the actual undulating pattern seen in the tunnel.

Moslem Dome of Rock holds a key to Jewish temple location

The article on the temple posted Aug. 25 describes a most ironic key to the Jewish temple location.  The Muslim authorities have denied the existence of the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. They have destroyed evidence from crude diggings made on the site.  The irony is that a major piece of evidence is preserved on the rock itself for all to see. This evidence is also preserved in the very fabric of the Muslim structure which they can never destroy or remove! You can see it in the picture below.

Holy Rock within Dome of the Rock Building with outer fence

They cannot cut or modify the rock in any way. The right side is especially important as it contains ‘fingerprint’ marks of the archangel Gabriel, who in Muslim belief held the rock at this location to prevent it from ascending upward after Mohammad ascended upward.  (This part of the rock is near a tower holding a piece of rock, and a few hairs from the beard of the Prophet.)

Notice that a railing surrounds the rock. Look an the right side of this picture (facing west). Here the rock, having a natural scarp, is at its highest side.  Notice a part of the railing has a very slight bend in it conforming to the fact the base of the rock bows outward at the bend. You will notice the entire inner side of the fence is in deep dark shadow owing to a low base cut edge on the rock, but at the bend you can see the rock bowing outward.

When the fence was installed, the builders did not want to cut or modify the rock whatsoever, thus the visible bend in the fence at this point.

Now note that if we extend a line from to the left (eastward), it reaches the low (northern) edge of the hole in the rock. You can see light coming out of the hole from the lighted cave below the surface of the rock.

This bend in the fence due to the bowing of the rock’s base was on the axis line of the temple. This preserves to this day, the original axis (can also be called the central line or mid-line) of the Jewish temple.

The hole in the rock marks the bedrock under what was under the mid-line running through the Ulam or Porch  of Solomon’s Temple, just before the doors.  In Herod’s temple, this would have been on the mid-line going over the Temple’s threshold at the exact center of the inner courtyard (The Azarah).

The high area at the center of the rock, at the exact center of domed building which has a small visible trapezoidal shaped depression (or just to the left (eastward) of this depression), would have been the bedrock where dirt was obtained for the Bitter Water ritual (Sotah) just to the right into the Holy Place (Heickiel). Here a 1 cubit square paving stone could be lifted to expose this bedrock. The Dome of the Rock building is centered on or centered very close to the site where this paving stone would have existed in the temple.

The details and discussions of these and other matters concerning the temple are given  in the article found here.
