Drawing of Temple 1

Caption

Drawing (Temple 1) shows Professor Patrich's description of the location of the Temple compound (the rectangle defined by a solid line in the center of the drawing). The cistern upon which he basis his research is shown by a dotted line within the rectangle. The Dome of the Rock (octagonal structure) is seen in the lower left hand corner of the Temple compound. Note that given this alignment, the rock in the center of the Dome of the Rock is seen as outside the area of the Temple Compound. The Temple 2 drawing shows the Temple Mount, with the Temple compound located at the southeasterly angle described by Professor Patrich.
