Quality comment on Erdogan and the Islamic world. Thanks for posting.  For the archaeology, history, and prophecy buffs...  But as we see, a lot of stones are still there.  The stones we see today (i.e/ wailing wall) are actually the remains of the Roman Fort Antonia that housed the Roman Legion responsible for keeping order in Jerusalem during the 1st century.  The actual site of the Temple is in the section of Jerusalem known as the "City of David", about 1.5 kms outside today's Temple Mount complex (Dome of the Rock) https://khouse.org/articles/2015/1223/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxnJW2LWSOw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OZ9lWlQVUE
