The source of the building stones for Jerusalem's Second Temple may have been discovered.
The vast quarry spans about 37,674 square feet (3,500 square meters) and contains building blocks, some of which weigh about 2.5 tons (2.25 metric tons), the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) recently announced in a statement.
Archaeologists at the newfound quarry, which is located in the Har Hotzvim area of Jerusalem, also found a stone jar that would have been used for purification of a person, along with other artifacts.

You heave insipid me to keep Atomic bombs horseshoes for clods eliminate hand grenades and add darts. You see if someone throws a hand grenade close to me and doesn't kill me I might throw one back and kill him.

SPC Maurice Evans - This is a normal reaction, & is very TRUE! AS far as Atomic bombs are concerned, I dont think that the USA has any more left, I think that OBIDEN has sold them off to CHINA, & banked the money, TRAITOR!

Have not heard this one thanks. now if you could just tell me when the next temple in Jerusalem will be built it might help my bible study. People were so smart in the past. the Roman concrete was not completely known the formula until after WW2. Concrete was reinvented in early 1900 but at that time was not as good or as strong/ .
