In this study, I have proven a lot of things.
I have proven that JOSEPHUS while growing up, was a member of the Ascetic Jewish sect, which including strict observance of the Law, including tell no Lies. He was observing the Jewish sects of Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes the Hierarchy in Judaism. According to his own account, he was a very learned youth who by the age of 14 was
being consulted by high priests in matters of Jewish law.
So what changed Josephus's reputation? He became a Christian, Called Jesus the Messiah, and took a job as a Historian in the Roman Army. He took his job VERY serious, and as far as I can tell, he was faithful to both the Jews and Romans, he told no lies or exaggerations.
The JEWS called him a Traitor, as still do not trust his Writings.
In one assignment, he walked from the Pool of Siloam, around the east pathway to where that path met the Eastern Cloister of the TEMPLE [Covered walkway], on the east side of the TEMPLE, on the way to the ESSENE GATE. At that point he noted the TEMPLE was on the OPHEL, (Ophlas in the language day), but it translates OPHEL. He noted where he was at, and that it was on the southeast corner of the TEMPLE, making it obvious that is was on the OPHEL all the time.
I also found two gates on the souteast side of the so-called TEMPLE Mount, walled up, that no one ever noticed before. Someone cut those trees down recently with a Chain Saw, near the Southeast corner of the so-called Temple Mount Complex. SURPISE, those two gates have been hidden behind those two bushy trees all along. So I started a search if they could be the lost entrance to the Stables for horses. YES THERE WERE. And if found a few pictures that had to be taken, during Israel's victory over the 6 Day War. So Israel was in charge only 6 days after that 6 day war, and then Israel gave back to the Jordan. One of those pictures showed those two gates from the inside.
.
Roman Law dictates every Horse has to be stabled in the SAME BUILDING as the Cavalry slept in. And Roman Law, dictated 300 Horses and Cavalry had to be assigned to every LEGION. So the pictures gave me another idea, figure out how much space every horse needed in a stall, and then figure out how many would fit in that one room on ground level. I got a good idea from pictures of those Stables, which I never expected to find, and therefore, I proceeded to find out. IT WAS EXACTLY 300 Horses, after my first estimate on the width proved to be wrong. Herod BUILD THAT FOR THE ROMAN X LEGION CALVARY, with the Bunks one floor above for the men to sleep. Yes, I only came up with 225, because I stopped well short of that Grey Domed Mosque. Found one picture that the looked the pictures again, and determined was further west, so I moved that wall west. And this time I got it right. I wanted to show the MINIMUM space you could house 300 Horses there. THAT IS ONLY THE MINIMUM, it could have been Larger. How did I come up with Stall Estimates? I grew up on a Dairy Farm, I know how large those stall ARE.
I discovered lots more discoveries, than I thought possible. So, read through all the Post, if you want to see all that I found. But those two are the most important finds. I am TOTALLY CONVINCED. The TEMPLE was always on the OPHEL, and four Corners on top end to end, are NONE other than FORTRESS ANTONIA, home for 6000 Legionaires and 4000 support Personnel. And the Third MISTAKE the Jews made, was Forgetting the Mt. Moriah, was the Name of the Whole Ridge, THEREFORE, the True Mt. ZION, is the Central Peak on Mt. Moriah, literally ZION is on the OPHEL.
