Reconstruction of Solomons Temple - Jerusalem
The
French arcitect responsible for this reconstruction of the Temple
from the north-west corner of the Court of the Israelites has
followed unreservedly Ezekiel's ground plan. Far more problematical,
however, is the elevation; but all known precepts of Phoenician
art have been carefully observed. The low building flanking
the inner court on the north, together with part of a gateway,
has been left unreconstructed in order to give a free view of
the great Sanctuary in the centre.
