It would make sense if they washed the bones from the altar and temple to some place outside the city where the current presumed site (Dome of the Rok) is located (granted G'Henna is to the southwest of the old city).<BR/><BR/>Could that be why you're finding so many bones in that location (moved or washed to the doome site after the sacrifices were made) and not because the original temple was located on the dome site?<BR/><BR/>Thanks you so much for the work you are doing and the information gleaned from your website.<BR/><BR/>R/ Ken RussellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20570989.post-89313480004787196382008-11-06T07:50:00.000-06:002008-11-06T07:50:00.000-06:00Great post, Todd.
