Temple Mount In Jerusalem Was Definitely Jewish Site For Thousands Of Years –New Evidence Proves
The Temple Mount In Jerusalem was definitely a Jewish Shrine long before Islam even existed, going back as far as the time of the Kingdom of Judah. This according to two separate archaeological finds revealed this past week.
Ancient clay pottery fragments dating back to the First Temple Period which were used in Temple sacrifices have been discovered, according to a report in the Hebrew Israeli daily
Haaretz. In addition to this news. the Hebrew daily
Yisrael Hayom (Israel Today) has reported on the
discovery near Hebron of a one thousand year old Arabic Muslim inscription which calls the Temple Mount just that.
Both discoveries were made by the Israel Antiquities Authority (
IAA).
So now there is even more proof to refute the shocking and unfounded vote by UNESCO to declare that Jews have no historical connection to the Temple Mount. That decision was clearly politically motivated and not based on any evidence of any kind disproving a Jewish connection to ancient Jerusalem. Apparently even the New Testament is not considered a reliable source of information for the U.N. not to mention all of the ancient Greek and Roman historical texts that have survived to today and which talk about the Jews and Judea.
The new historical evidence is as overwhelming as it is convincing and comes on the heels of the recent discovery of a
2,700 year old papyrus which refers to the city of Jerusalem in Hebrew. So we do know that Jerusalem and the country were both Jewish areas as far back as 700 BC, or at least before the Persian conquest of the region which took place 200 years later.
But even if you acknowledge this fact, there are Arabs who claim that the Jews did not settle in the area until era and that they did not build a Temple in Jerusalem until after the rise of the Persian Empire.
