Published 2020-10-11
Archaeology at the Temple Mount is strictly forbidden. However, over the past hundred years, the Temple Mount went through many renovations, during which archaeologists were able to document incredible findings. These findings and much more we reveal in this video.
We will enter the Temple Mount through the Moors Gate, walk to the Dome of the Rock and examine where the Ark of the Covenant could have stood, see the Golden Gate, and then peak into the archives of the Al-Aqsa mosque to find out what lies underneath it.
So join us for this adventure as we explore the Temple Mount.

I am an American Jew. In 1971 I was able to freely walk up onto the Temple Mount and walk around. Two friends and I entered the Dome of the Rock, it was very quiet and solemn, and look around. Nobody bothered us or threatened us, and we were respectful, and of course in awe of the history of the place. It's a shame that all people cannot have that experience. Of course it's also a shame that all people can't just live in peace together.

I would have goosebumps too walking around there knowing the Lord JESUS had walked along the original places.
-

Sergio and Rhoda should start offering tours for Christians wanting to visit Israel, I think many would love their native view of the areas Christ walked and lived, died and raised to live!
-
That was AMAZING! I am an American Bible believing Christian, and I’ve never been to Israel, but my heart longs to see it! Ty so much! So thankful that I came across your page’ ❣️🇮🇱❣️🙏❣️

Ceder Trees from Lebanon from the time of David and Solomon. That is amazing.
-
A place of great historical value yet restricted from the general population and visitors to Israel. Thanks for sharing.

The Dome of the Rock sits above the most holliest place in Judaism. During the first Temple period, the Ark of The Covenant sat on top of this Rock. It was situation inside the temple in the room known as "The Holy of Hollies". There were two rooms. This was the inside room and only the Priest could enter that room during the time of the Temple. Shoes had to be removed as you stood on Holy Ground. Thank you for showing us all the inside of the Temple Mound, Am Yisrael Chai!!

I'm an Armenian Evangelical, and I thank you for this video. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

This was able to explain the whole story of the temple mount in which I have heard so many bits and pieces of but was unable to put it together in my mind. In 20 minutes this cleared up so many things. This is how history should be taught in schools. Wonderful work.
-
I didn't realize things had changed so much. When I was there in 1977, not only was I allowed inside, but we went under the rock. It is truly a magnificent place.
-
Sergio and Rhoda, hey thank you so much for the short documentary. Really, it's amazing. Despite so much of tensions you filmed the historic place. Waiting for some more videos of yours. Again thank you. God bless you guys. Ag

So sad that it has to be like this. All of us should be able to be on the temple mount. One day we will be there every day. 🙏
-
The truth will never cease to exist or disappear. Some, however, are desperate to prevent the truth from being seen, known and understood. Thank you, Sergio and Rhoda.

The earthquake bit was really interesting
-
Thank you for the tour. It was something I hoped to see in my lifetime.
-
it's really exciting knowing that Jesus is coming again through the Eastern Gate. Come, Lord Jesus, come! Amen... Thank you for filming this, Sergio and Rhoda
-
For people who has no background in history or archeology, the level of research that you guys put into your videos is amazing. Also all the illustrations and pictures you add is highly appriciated
