The Secrets
From the title of this book you expect to learn the great secrets of the ancient Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Indeed, that’s exactly what happens! You will learn the location of water cisterns in hidden tunnels below the Mount, the arches and gates that formerly led to King Herod’s great Temple platform, the location of Solomon’s original Temple, and even where the Ark of the Covenant rested within the Holy of Holies! Wow!
These discoveries are not revealed as Indiana Jones would discover them in the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Readers expecting a swashbuckling adventure with plenty of fight scenes will be disappointed. Instead, archaeologist Leen Ritmeyer makes his discoveries by patient observation, consulting ancient sources, asking permission from the religious and political authorities who control the Temple Mount today, discussion with Hebrew archaeologists, and plenty of quiet reflection over what he has observed. In other words, he learns things the scholarly way, the way that works. (more…)
