Not enough people know about the Palestinian religious leadership’s Taliban-esque destruction of other religions’ artifacts to destroy evidence that their historic narrative doesn’t hold up. The project to sift through the rubble of Waqf’s destruction continues 26 years later.

In 1999, the Waqf bulldozed 9,000 tons of Temple Mount earth, rich with Jewish, Christian, and Islamic history, without archaeological oversight. They dug a subterranean mosque, the 'Marwani Mosque,' into Solomon’s Stables. Centuries-old vaults were compromised. No engineering consultation. No salvage excavation. Just a rush job with heavy machinery under one of the most sacred sites on earth. Desecration doesn’t need to be symbolic when it’s this literal. ....... Because this person denies the Temple ever existed, here’s the tiles the Waqf dumped, now restored by archaeologists. It’s the first element ever successfully reconstructed from the Herodian Second Temple complex.
