http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_eschatology This area was primarily a bazaar, with vendors selling souvenirs, sacrificial animals, food, as well as currency changers, exchanging Roman for Tyrian money because the Jews were not allowed to coin their own money and they viewed Roman currency as an abomination to the Lord,[27] as also mentioned in the New Testament account of Jesus and the Money Changers when Jerusalem was packed with Jews who had come for Passover, perhaps numbering 300,000 to 400,000 pilgrims.[28][29] Guides that provided tours of the premises were also available. Jewish males had the unique opportunity to be shown inside the temple itself.

The priests, in their white linen robes and tubular hats, were everywhere, directing pilgrims and advising them on what kinds of sacrifices were to be performed.

Behind them as they entered the Court of the Gentiles from the south was the Royal Porch, which contained a marketplace, administrative quarters, and a synagogue. On the upper floors, the great Jewish sages held court, priests and Levites performed various chores, and from there, tourists were able to observe the events.

To the east of the court was Solomon's Porch, and to the north, the soreg, the "middle wall of separation",[30] a stone wall separating the public area from the inner sanctuary where only Jews could enter, described as being 3 cubits high by Josephus (Wars 5.5.2 [3b] 6.2.4).
Inside the Soreg.

According to Josephus, there were ten entrances into the inner courts,

.According to the Mishnah (Middot iii...6),..the "Foundation Stone" stood where the Ark used to be,..and the High Priest put his censer on it on Yom Kippur.[2]

The Second Temple also included many of the original vessels of gold that had been taken by the Babylonians but restored by Cyrus the Great.[6][15] According to the Babylonian Talmud (Yoma 22b),[2] however,..the Temple lacked the Shekinah, the dwelling or settling divine presence of God, and the Ruach HaKodesh,..the Spirit of Holiness, present in the first.

Mt. Moriah had a plateau at the northern end, and steeply declined on the southern slope. It was Herod's plan that the entire mountain be turned into a giant square platform. The Temple Mount was originally intended to be 1600 feet wide by 900 feet broad by 9 stories high, with walls up to 16 feet thick,..but had never been finished. To complete it, a trench was dug around the mountain, and huge stone "bricks" were laid. Some of these weighed well over 100 tons, the largest measuring 44.6 feet by 11 feet by 16.5 feet and weighing approximately 567 to 628 tons,[21][22] while most were in the range of 2.5 by 3.5 by 15 feet (approximately 28 tons). King Herod had architects from Greece, Rome and Egypt plan the construction. ....Part of the Antonian hill to the north of Moriah was annexed to the complex and the area between was filled up with landfill.

The project began with the building of giant underground vaults upon which the temple would be built so it could be larger than the small flat area on top of Mount Moriah. Ground level at the time was at least 20 ft. (6m) below the current level, as can be seen by walking the Western Wall tunnels. .

In 1871, the Temple Warning inscription was identified by Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau.

After 1967, archaeologists found that the wall extended all the way around the Temple Mount and is part of the city wall near the Lion's Gate. Thus, the Western Wall is not the only remaining part of the Temple Mount.

Only Integrity..UNTO/OTHER..is Going to Count

Interview (26 February 1983)..FROM
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller

Each one of us has something to contribute...This really depends on each one doing their own thinking, but not following any kind of rule that I can give out, any command...We're all on the frontier, we're all in a great mystery — incredibly mysterious…

I have to say, I think that we are in some kind of final examination as to whether human beings now,.with this capability to acquire information and to communicate, ..whether we're really qualified to take on the responsibility..*we're designed to be entrusted with.

* We are here as local information harvesters,..local problem-solvers in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe....The fact that we get away from physical problems doesn't mean we go away from problems...The problems are really rarely physical.[IE..METa-physical]

* I find people only listen to you..when they ask you..to talk FOR them.

* The question of integrity..will get finer and finer and more delicate and more beautiful...AS MORE..SHARE..THEIR JOY..

* I find the audiences very excited. But then they come and say to me,.."Your optimism has brushed off on me...[I didn't know we had an option.]..I feel so much better." They say, "Your optimism." And I am not optimistic or pessimistic...

*I feel that optimism and pessimism...are very unbalanced. I am a very hard engineer...I am a mechanic...I am a sailor...I am an air pilot..I don't tell people I can get you across the ocean with my ship..unless I know what I'm talking about.

* I think it's absolutely touch-and-go..whether we're going to make it. But the point is,..for me to tell you that you have an option is not to be optimistic... Time and again, of course I am running into millions..who don't know*..we have the option, because it's invisible, and I feel I have tremendous responsibility. So when people ask me to come and talk to them, I do my best to let them know they do have the option...*[Of course they're pessimistic, not knowing that.]
