Discovery in Jerusalem Aims to Pinpoint Temple Site
The text reports a Palestine Exploration Society finding that the north wall of the Mosque of Omar sits on a cliff edge with a long subterranean arcade beneath the Haram Area. If true, the discovery could shrink the Temple’s size and hinge on obtaining permission to study inside the Haram. Also noted is Mr. Drew’s plea for a royal bounty to clear seas of whales and porpoises, with Mr. Bright suggesting fishermen could tackle the issue.
