There's a part of me that was hoping this lecture would be dry enough to put me to sleep since I'd binge watched SEVEN of your lectures back-to-back before pressing play on this one. But, nooooooo. You did it again! You made history so interesting, I want to know MORE. :-) Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge in a way that brings history alive.

The one in the thumbnail was not Solomon's Temple, it was Herod's Temple.

John love your vids man. You need to team up with religion for breakfast and usefulcharts. I think you guys could make something super cool

Really really enjoying these lectures!

Excelent presentation. Very informative and clear. Thank you.

This question is answered in the testament of Solomon . Demons built the temple. God gave Solomon authority over demons for a time

Very informative video many thnx. 2 Esdras 14:20 also talks about this period and re-writing the 94 Hebrew Scriptures

Great work

It seems like the initial part was cut out...

Hezekiah was an especially fascinating figure, great talk, thanks!

It’s been pointed out that the Mishkan bears similarities to the traveling “palace” in which Egyptian pharaohs would reside when out on campaign with his armies. Michael Homan famously showed the parallels between the structure of the Mishkan and the military tent of Ramses II. the very same pharaoh who is believed to have reigned at the time of the Exodus.

Interesting how we have a general idea of what Solomon's Temple looked like, but no clue of what King Solomon himself looked like.

Shame this was so short.

Who's buried in Grant's tomb?

Looks rather modest. Coulldn't they just build another one beside it with air conditioning?

If you think back to the time of the Sumerians and imagine Jerusalem and then imagine Rome and Greece before they were Rome and Greece and what they thought of those places 4 to 5,000 years ago you can see why Jerusalem for them would have been seen as the edge of mysticism and where the most ancient of knowledge would come from. The three wise men were said to be from Yemen, this is also where the garden of Eden is said to be from, so that world to them 5,000 years ago traditionally would represent a fountain of knowledge and enlightenment.

@Gary Allen it was the island of Socotra

Odd that you don't consider the greatest builders in Israel to that time, the Omrides with building the temple. Also, if it was built later, when you say it was, during a very strong scribal period, wouldn't they have given credit to those Kings? It makes more sense not to give credit to the taboo Omrides, but place the building in the mythic past. And since Israel was a vassal nation when you say it was built, would the Assyrians have let them construct such a large and expensive temple? I could go on, but that's enough.

The Omrids didn't rule in Jerusalem but in Samaria. They had their own temple there, but the Deuteronomic History isn't interested in it ( and in any case it belonged to a distant past) so we know very little about it. Accounts of the Omrids pay more attention to their palaces anyway.

I do think that Israel Finkelstein's reconstruction of Israelite history, whereby the real magnificence of the Omrids was simply reassigned to the founders of the House of David by the Deuteronomists, is very likely to be true. After all, although thanks largely to Finkelstein the Omrids have been recovered for history, to the Deuteronomists they belonged to a legendary past as much as David and Solomon did.

The kenites( cain's descendants)were the bible scribes since King David's Kingdom , it's mentioned in chronicles and jeremiah 8:8 How can you say, 'We're wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us,' when, in fact, pen of the scribe has made it into something that deceives the The first house of David was built by freemasons directed by the King of tyre been mentioned as satan or possessed by him. And also solomon's temple was also built by the old king of tyre. Read chapter 37 to 40 from jasher, Jacob and his son were warriors they fought mighty men(nephilims), fortficated cities, bigger and stronger armies and they were always victorious because they were God fearing, trusted and relied on God. Jacob was an excellent archer

The Bible gives detailed dimensions of the temple of Solomon. David bought the original threshing floor on the Mount from the Jesubite. Unbelieving people who study the Biblical narrative of Israel, will explain away the truth. They still think its foolishness.

Heavens. Solomon's rather small temple must have gotten very crowded with half a dozen god's brought into it. Couldn't they have got a temple each, or was that too expensive?

@garyallen8824 This is how everybody operated until the modern era. Archaeology, romantic historiography, the want to preserve material cultural heritage are novel concepts. The Jewish reformers are not the "Taliban" of their era, because in their era everybody was "the Taliban of their era", there was nothing exceptional about their behaviour.

Newer archeology is proving all these theories wrong, and that the Bible is actually right.

why are you looking for extra biblical sources when you already have a excellent source the bible. all these atheists whose religious activity is talking against the church and our book.
