File talk:Solomon's Temple reproduction.jpg

Someone may want to correct this entry...

This pic is of the Second Temple, as built by King Herod, not the temple built by Solomon. Karajou 15:35, 23 November 2007 (EST)


 * Why do you say that? Most of the images I've seen are comparable.

The temple (the second temple) was extensively rebuilt by Herod on a grand scale, and subsequent models of this building leave out the two bronze pillars that were prominently placed in front with the main entrance between them, as is described in 1 Kings when Solomon erected the first temple.

 * I've seen several models of Herod's temple, differing in slight details from each other, but the most common image is the model at the Holyland Hotel, Jerusalem, which is part of a miniature of the city in the time of Jesus and is based upon archaeological evidence. I have seen no images or models of the temple as built by Zerubbabel, but judging from the description given in Ezra I would assume they followed as much as possible the original plan; according to Josephus there was a slight diffence in size.
