-The Temple Mount... | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
-..is one of the holiest places -on the face of the earth. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
-For the Jew, it is the site -of the Temple of Solomon. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
-For the Christian, the location of -Herod's Temple, where Jesus walked. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
-And for every Muslim... | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
-..it is the site from where -Muhammad ascended to heaven. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
-Three faiths, each laying claim... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
-..to the Holy Land. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
-Throughout -Jerusalem's long history... | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
-..the faithful -have always fought for possession. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
-Today, archaeologists -are embroiled in the conflict. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
-Their work holds the key to -understanding Jerusalem's history. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
-A history -that could change our future. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-I've come here to try and discover -the truth about the Temple Mount... | 0:01:16 | 0:01:22 | |
-..and the battle -for the Holy Land of Jerusalem. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-At Easter and Christmas, -pilgrims flock to the holy city. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
-It's a different story -at other times of the year. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-Jerusalem's streets are quiet. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-Mid morning, -one can take a leisurely walk... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-..and take in -the ambience of the cafes... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-..eye up souvenirs... | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
-..and pick out presents -to take home. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-This is the modern, sophisticated -and civilised Old City. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
-Stallholders -along these famous narrow streets... | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
-..though keen to make a sale, -refrain from pressuring tourists... | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
-..which can sometimes happen -in other places in the Middle East. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
-At the Dome of the Rock... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
-..there is peace, perfect peace... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-..in Islam's Noble Sanctuary. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
-Though this is not always the case. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Two months before I arrived, -there was a violent uprising. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
-Muslim protestors were reacting -to threats from Jewish extremists... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
-..to take over the site. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
-It resulted in one fatality. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-The casualty was a 25-year-old man. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-Once again, the threat of war -hangs over Israel... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-..and the rest of the world. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-For the devout Jew, -this is sacred territory. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
-The ancient site of the Temple. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-But it's also hallowed ground -for the Muslim. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-It is -the third holiest site in Islam... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-..housing the Dome of the Rock -and Al-Aqsa Mosque. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
-Before I arrived, the situation -had been quelled, but for how long? | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
-I was clearly reminded that Islam -retained its hold of the Sanctuary. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
-You are now -at the land of the Prophet... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-..of Islam in Al-Aqsa Mosque. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-And the important holy area... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-..of all Muslims from all the world. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
-Muslims have worshipped here -for over a thousand years. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
-But for some Jews... | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-..it's vital that the original site -of their holy temple is repossessed. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:42 | |
-The Muslims have Mecca, -they have Medina... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-..and a distant third, -they have Jerusalem. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-But for us, there's only Jerusalem. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
-That's the direction -we've always prayed towards. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
-It's always been in our hearts. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-That's where it is - -the Temple Mount is it. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-It's an infinite battle -between two faiths... | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-..in which archaeology -plays a key role. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-Jewish experts have tried to -establish the Temple's true history. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-This cave beneath the Old City... | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-..is apparently where -the Temple's stones were quarried. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-But King Solomon -went further afield... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
-..to adorn his temple. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-In Jordan, -one archaeologist's research... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-..has uncovered mines -from Solomon's era. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
-It was deep underground here... | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-..that slaves and criminals -mined copper for the Temple. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
-Smelting works were located nearby -to turn the mineral into metal. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:07 | |
-Near the ancient city walls -of Jerusalem... | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-..archaeologists are at work, -searching for the Temple's remains. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:21 | |
-In the absence of proof... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-..they are relying on debris -uncovered from the Old City. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-They've found relics to suggest -that Jews had worshipped... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
-..in the heart of the city. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-Other finds cast doubts -over date and tradition. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-But the most precious treasure... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-..is beyond their reach. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
-Today, the sacred Temple Mount -is controlled by Muslim authorities. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-But some of Israel's faithful... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-..are keen to begin building -a new temple here in haste. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-According to the Bible, -two temples have stood here. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-The Temple of Solomon -and the Temple of Herod. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-But there's a third to come. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-The prophet Ezekiel -had a vision of this. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
-For devout Christians... | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
-..it must be erected in the -final days before the Second Coming. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
-Zion's faithful wish to remove -the Noble Sanctuary... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
-..to make room for it. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-Al-Aqsa Mosque and the -Dome of the Rock will be removed. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-We have very good engineers... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-..that will take them, -stone by stone... | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-..and rebuild them back in Mecca, -the most holy place of the Muslims. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
-The Temple Mount -will become again... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-..the location, -the place, the spot... | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-..of the Third Temple. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-Gershon Solomon -and his supporters... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-..have already begun preparing. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-They're using -the Scriptures as their guide. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
-These are -the first two cornerstones. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
-They open the process -of the rebuilding of the Temple. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-Israel's prominent leaders -support the plan... | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
-..to repossess the Noble Sanctuary. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
-In 2000, Ariel Sharon -visited the Temple Mount... | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-..accompanied by -1,000 security guards... | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-..and declared -it was the Jews' holy site. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-Sharon, who became Israel's -prime minister shortly afterwards... | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
-..had enraged the Palestinians. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-It resulted in the Al-Aqsa Intifada, -sparking five years of violence. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
-6,000 people lost their lives. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
-Gershon Solomon is prepared -to follow in Sharon's footsteps. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
-He plans to celebrate Hanukkah, -the Jewish Festival of Lights... | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
-..on the Temple Mount -with a group of devout Jews. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-The plan is that -we will march from the Jaffa Gate... | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
-..through the Old City -to the promenade... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-..in front of the Kotel. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-From there, some of us, God willing, -will ascend to the Temple Mount. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
-It's to encourage -the political system... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
-..that it's time -to rebuild the Temple. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
-Before they venture to the Temple -Mount, they pause for inspiration. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:25 | |
-They convene at the site where -the Maccabean Revolt originated. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
-2,500 years ago... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-..the Maccabees -won a famous victory... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-..pushing foreigners beyond -the confines of their country. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-THEY SING IN HEBREW | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-The Jewish nation wishes to secure -Israel's soil for the Jews. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-They want to remove the Muslims. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-They pray with a face to Mecca. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-Let them go back to Mecca. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-This is not their land. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-Redemption will come -only from Jerusalem. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
-From the Temple Mount. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-20 years ago, Solomon led a similar -campaign to the Temple Mount. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
-He's used to provocative action. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-And he's not the only one. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-Fierce clashes, conflict, violence. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-Will the path that runs through -the Holy Land of Jerusalem... | 0:11:38 | 0:11:43 | |
-..lead to war? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |

-Israel's history -is founded on warfare. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
-It is also founded on construction. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-According to the Bible, -David slew Goliath. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-He was responsible for the planning -and construction of Jerusalem. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-His son, Solomon, -erected a splendid temple here... | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
-..dedicated to God. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-For Solomon and every Jew, this is -the holiest sanctuary in the world. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
-The home of God's spirit. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-By Jesus Christ's day, -a new temple stood here. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
-It was at the Temple of Herod -that Jesus taught. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-He strived -to retain a pure sanctuary. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-But shortly after Jesus' death, -the Temple of Herod was destroyed. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:14 | |
-The Romans -executed the Temple's defenders. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
-It was burnt to the ground -and its ruins demolished. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
-The Romans -forced the Jews out of Israel. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
-They were displaced -for almost 2,000 years. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
-But Solomon's Temple and Herod's -Temple were far from forgotten. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
-According to Ezekiel's prophecy... | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-..a third temple -will one day stand here. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-But some of the Muslims who live -in Israel today deny that theory. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
-We are the Muslims. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
-What we believe in Qur'an... | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-..and what we believe -of the Prophet Muhammad... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-..and the Holy Land of Islam. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-There's no end in sight -for the conflict. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
-Countless Jews have returned... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-..to establish the State of Israel -following World War II. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
-Tension in the country -is evident to every visitor. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-There's -a constant military presence... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
-..even next to the holiest of sites. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-Here, in the square opposite -the Temple's Western Wall... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
-..the Israeli army -exerts its power. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
-I have to admit that as a Muslim... | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-..I didn't feel comfortable -staring at them. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-Up until now, -military strength alone... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
-..has failed to determine -who owns the Temple Mount. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-No compromise -has been reached from discourse... | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
-..or archaeological study. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
-Perhaps a new perspective is needed? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-As an architect, -my point of view, I must admit... | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
-..was in another way of thinking -than the archaeologists. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
-He claims that archaeologists -tend to study minor objects... | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
-..such as pottery -or ancient coins... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-..whereas architects -study the city in its entirety... | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-..and the relationship -between the different buildings. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-It's possible that the Temple didn't -stand on top of the mountain... | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
-..where the Dome of the Rock -stands today but at a lower level. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-Sagiv has noticed -the height of the aqueduct... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-..that supplied -the Temple's devotional bath. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-You can see -that the level of the aqueduct... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-..is lower -than the Dome of the Rock. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-So how comes -that the water climbs up? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-So maybe we have a mistake? | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-Is there room for a Jewish temple -as well as a Muslim sanctuary? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
-Yes, if the temple stood -at the same level as this square... | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
-..exactly where -the nation's identity belongs. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
-Jewish people came just specific -to this point to pray. Why here? | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
-Maybe somebody knew... | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-..that this is the right place -to stand and pray... | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-..as close as possible -to the Holy of Holies. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-Sagiv has come up with -an inventive compromise. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-But are zealous Jews -prepared to accept it? | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-Absolutely not. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
-Others -have already begun planning... | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-..to repossess the site -where Muslims currently worship... | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
-..and construct a new temple there. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
-This is a unique model - -the Third Temple... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
-..that the prophet Ezekiel -had prophesied... | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-..long before -the days of Jesus Christ. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-In the 47th chapter of Ezekiel... | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-..from the Holy of Holies... | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-..which is at the back -of the temple, the west end... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
-..a thin stream of water... | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
-..will flow through the temple, -out, and become a raging river... | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
-..impossible to cross by foot. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-Trees will grow up on both banks. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-The leaves of these trees will heal -every sickness in the world... | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
-..and people from all over the world -will come here to be healed. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
-Their faith is greater than logic. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
-From birth, religion -is a way of life here in Israel. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-Some people are certain -that they hear God's voice. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-Heaven's message -to a majority of the faithful... | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-..is to stick to their beliefs -and refuse to compromise. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-The ramifications in a situation -like this can be explosive. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-At the other end of the square, -another storm is brewing. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-Gershon Solomon is ready -to occupy the Muslim Sanctuary. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
-Halfway to the gate, -he is spotted by police. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-They are fully aware -of Solomon's attempt 20 years ago. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-For police, it begs the question, -what are the group's motives? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:30 | |
-Meanwhile, other pilgrims gather -to worship at the Western Wall. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:37 | |
-A decision is eventually reached. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
-Solomon is prohibited -from entering the Temple Mount. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
-He's not allowed to go up there... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-..from the police -because he's been threatened... | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
-..by the Mufti of Jerusalem... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
-..that if he ascends -on to the Temple Mount... | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
