ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\n\nIn this large world in which we live,no man is ever an island.Eachof us is constantly coming in contact with others from whom welearn many valuable teachings that cause us to change our mindson some important occasions.In regard to the discovery of the siteof the Temples in Jerusalem,I have had the pleasure and the goodfortune of being brought into the company of many of the tophistorians and archaeologists of Jerusalem over the period of myprofessional career as a historian and theologian.My first visit toJerusalem in 1961 set my mind on solving the problems thataffected the true geographical comprehension of early Jerusalemthroughout all its periods of history.I watched closely howProfessor Benjamin Mazar and Meir Ben Dov(his assistant at thetime)went about their professional duties and this was a greatlearning experience.Both of them were more than willing toanswer questions for me in the many private times that I couldlearn from them.I later met Professor Mazar's son,Ory,who wasthe first to recommend to me that the Temples of Solomon andZerubbabel were located on the Ophel mound just to the north ofthe original Mount Zion on the southeast ridge.He said his fatherwas leaning in that direction at the time of his death.After a studyof six months,in 1995 I wrote a preliminary report that suggestedstrongly that this theory was indeed correct for the two earlierTemples.I was then under the impression that Simon theHasmonean (along with Herod a century later)moved the Templefrom the Ophel mound to the Dome of the Rock area.Mr.BillLavers in England in reading closely the texts in Josephus  \nmentioned that Herod stated dogmatically that his Temple (thoughenlarged to be double in size of the former Temple)was stilllocated in the same general area as that of the former Temples.This was also pointed out to me by Dr.James Tabor and DavidSielaff(my historical and compositional editor).But then I noticedthe eyewitness account of Eleazar who led the final contingent ofJewish resistance to the Romans at Masada.He stated that theRoman fortress which had long been in Jerusalem was the onlystructure left by 73 C.E.With this key in mind,I came to theconclusion in 1997 that all the Temples were indeed located on theOphel mound over the area of the Gihon Spring.It then becameclear that the dimensions of the Temple(with its unique shape andcharacteristics)was not the Haram esh-Sharif.We then began todraw (as would an architect)the Temple at its location over theGihon Spring.I had the good fortune of having a professionalartist,who was also interested in biblical matters,draw whatJosephus stated in his writings.My thanks go to Lydia Cooper whoprovided the pictures showing how the Temple and Fort Antonialooked in relationship to one another.The illustrations sheprovided help make the matter much clearer to those who haveonly a limited amount of study into these historical andgeographical matters  \nThis book is a result of my concluding research that shows that theTemples of God in Jerusalem were
