The Jewish Second Temple replica.
Researchers from the Jerusalem-based Temple Mount Sifting Project
has accomplished quite a feat by restoring a unique architectural scope
of the once-monumental Second Jewish Temple. This fascinating ambit
mainly entails the richly decorated floor tiles that adorned the
porticoes on the Temple Mount. Simply put, these ancient specimens
probably played their decorative role along the courtyards of the huge
temple complex, corresponding to the period when King Herod ruled over
the Roman client realm of Judea (circa 37 – 4 BC). Now interestingly if
the project is assessed to be accurate, this would be the first time
that archaeologists had been able to successfully restore any element
from the Second Temple.
