2nd Temple Construction Documentary

[Dave Darling]

I just found this on YouTube and you might want to have a look- it is a documentary of the construction of the 2nd Jewish temple in Jerusalem, built by Herod, in the days of Jesus. It was enormous and very beautiful and was a tremendous feat of engineering for it's day, what a sight it must have been!

Just a small correction, the 2nd Temple was built under Zerubbabel. However, it was greatly renovated and essentially rebuilt under Herod. But it is still considered the 2nd Temple as services did not stop during the renovation. It was probably finished about 10 years before Jesus was born.

It truly must have been a sight to be seen, a wonder of the world. Thanks for the video link
