Description
The Temple Mount in Old Jerusalem is probably the most controversial piece of real estate in the history of the world. Its history and archaeology are partly historical fact, partly reasoned speculation, with a smattering of urban legend. This course traces the successive control and/or use of this sacred precinct by the ancient Canaanites, Jebusites, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Selucids, Hasmoneans, Herodians, Romans, Byzantines, Moslems, and Crusaders, with particular emphasis on the history, architecture and archaeology of the First (Solomonic) and Second (Herodian) Temple Periods.
