I am not an archeologist although I have been on three digs as a
volunteer. Can someone please help me with answers to a few questions
about the rock in the Dome of the Rock? Was it there in bibical times?
Is it mentioned in the bible? What was its relation to the temple?
There is a hole in the rock -- is it a natural hole or manmade? Was
the hole used for any ritual purpose? Thanks- Bob Lee
