solomon's temple





















































according to the hebrew bible, solomon's temple, also known as the first temple, was the holy temple (: "beit hamikdash") in ancient jerusalem before its destruction by nebuchadnezzar ii after the siege of jerusalem of 587 bce and its subsequent replacement with the second temple in the 6th century bce. the period in which the first temple presumably, or actually, stood in jerusalem, is known in academic literature as the first temple period (c.1000–586 bce).
solomon's temple
archaeological excavations have found remnants of both the first temple and second temple. among the artifacts of the first temple are dozens of ritual immersion or baptismal pools in this area surrounding the temple mount, as well as a large square platform identified by architectural archaeologist leen ritmeyer as likely being built by king hezekiah c. 700 bce as a gathering area in front of the temple.





















































possible second temple artifacts include the trumpeting place inscription and the temple warning inscription, which are surviving pieces of the herodian expansion of the temple mount.
