Most people walking the streets of modern Jerusalem have no idea what lies directly beneath their feet. In the City of David, archaeologists have uncovered the Pilgrimage Road, the actual stone-paved street used by hundreds of thousands of Jewish pilgrims to ascend to the Temple Mount during the Second Temple period. Running directly underneath it is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient drainage channels ever found in Jerusalem, a massive sewer system that carried rainwater and waste away from the Temple area. The engineering is astonishing. Massive stone slabs still in place, some weighing several tons. The channel is tall enough for a person to walk through. Artefacts recovered include coins, pottery, and personal items dropped by pilgrims nearly 2,000 years ago. This road and channel give us a direct, physical connection to the world of the Second Temple, the very streets where Jewish pilgrims walked during the time of the Mishnah and the events described in the Gospels. Israel doesn’t just preserve stones. We preserve the living footsteps of our ancestors. Proud every single day. 🇮🇱 #PilgrimageRoad #CityOfDavid #SecondTemple #AncientJerusalem #JewishHeritage

🚨 EXCLUSIVE — Tucker's War on Truth now disputes the central Jewish connection to Jerusalem. Tucker Carlson claimed the Kotel, or Western Wall, is merely "believed by some to be a remnant of the Second Temple." It's an odious myth designed to separate Jews from the holiest site in Judaism — and its origins are recent, peddled by the godfather of Palestinian terrorism, Yasser Arafat. And it is a breathtaking level of denialism, precisely because it is so mendacious. There is overwhelming historical and archeological evidence that the Kotel survived from the Second Temple. Simply put, no one serious or credible doubts that the Kotel (Western Wall or Wailing Wall) in what is now the Old City of Jerusalem is the retaining wall of the Temple Mount complex from the time of the Second Temple. Yet Tucker labels it as nothing more than a "claim." Even a century ago, Muslim leaders in Jerusalem in 1925 said its "sanctity" was "beyond dispute" because of it had survived from the Temple. It is only recently that some Palestinians have decided to become, for lack of a better term, Temple Truthers. In 2015, for example, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Muhammad Ahmad Hussein bizarrely claimed that there was never any Jewish holy site at the Temple Mount. Hussein, though, was merely echoing Yasser Arafat, who rejected the 2000 Camp David proposal for a Palestinian state on the grounds that there had never been a Jewish holy site at the Temple Mount. Fast forward 15 years later, and the Grand Mufti declared that the site was an "Islamic mosque since the world was created." It's an odd claim given that Islam only dates back to the 7th Century. So why do we know that Temple Truthers are unequivocally wrong? Evidence. Staggering amounts of evidence, in fact. For starters, the Kotel matches the description of famous 1st century historian Josephus — with whom Tucker is quite familiar, having discussed his work during previous interviews. Josephus detailed Herod's expansion from that era, including the exact type of retaining wall matching the Kotel. He even listed measurements for the stones used — which also match the measurements of the stones at the Kotel. Then there's the texture and style of the stones comprising the Kotel. They match the stones from the Herodian era found elsewhere in Jerusalem — which stopped being used shortly afterwards, following the Roman destruction of the city. Most important, though, is what has been found in archeological excavations. Archeologists have unearthed more than three dozens of mikva'ot, or ritual Jewish baths, just outside the perimeter of the Temple Mount complex. Jewish pilgrims, in accordance with Jewish law, would ritually cleanse themselves in mikva'ot before entering the Temple Mount. There are many more such examples of archeological evidence, but here's one more. Two stones were uncovered with inscriptions that match those described by Josephus as having been placed just outside the Temple. In short, the evidence confirming that the Kotel or Western Wall has survived from the Second Temple era is incontrovertible. So much so, in fact, that Temple Truthers are on a par with Flat Earthers. Tucker Carlson, of course, knows better. But facts don't matter to him, just his singular, obsessive mission: To divide Jews from Christians, which requires him to remove Jews from their own history. That's why Tucker promotes the dangerous lie that the Jews of today aren't descended from the Jews of the Bible. And now he's trying to take from the Jews not just their history, but also the one surviving portion of the holiest site that ever existed in Jewish history. Even if that means Tucker has to ignore mountains of evidence in order to embrace a provably false Palestinian fiction.

Namaste On February 12th 2026 we cleared the temple pond belonging to Cholakkara Durga temple in Malappuram as part of reclaiming the same. There was some objections from the encroachers. The govt survey didn't happen as there was a general strike on that day. We will demarcate boundaries and fence the temple pond after the government survey. The reclaiming of this pond is essential as during Devaprashnam done ten years back, it was revealed that many Vigrahas of the ancient temple were dumped in the pond after destruction in 1921 Moplah riots. We have to recover those Deities for the revival to be completed. #ReclaimTemples

When Jerusalem fell in 70 AD, world history changed forever. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple was one of the most significant turning points in biblical and human history. Its significance includes: • The destruction of the Temple, the center of Jewish worship for centuries • The end of the Old Covenant sacrificial system • The fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy that not one stone would be left upon another • The scattering of the Jewish people throughout the Roman world • The transformation of Judaism into the rabbinic form that exists today • The final separation between Christianity and mainstream Judaism • The preservation of Christianity as a global faith rather than a Jerusalem-centered movement • A dramatic demonstration of God’s judgment upon a generation that rejected its Messiah • One of the most historically documented events of the ancient world through Josephus and Roman sources • The backdrop for much of the New Testament’s warnings, prophecies, and urgency 70 AD is the moment the ancient biblical world came to an end and a new era began.

If you’ve ever wondered what confidence a civilization can have at its peak, look at those walls. A thousand years ago, in the forests of central India, a small Chandela kingdom built a temple complex so advanced in geometry, astronomy, and stone engineering that modern architects still struggle to explain parts of it. No steel. No machines. Just craftsmen who carved sandstone like it was butter and encoded an entire worldview into a city of temples. This is the Khujaraho Temple Complex, a group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh, India.

The historians claim that the Kailasa Temple in Ellora was built in the 8th century, yet we have no written records explaining how this massive monolithic temple was carved into the giant hill, or how and where the estimated 400,000 tons of excavated basalt were removed and disposed of. Nothing about it seems to make sense. Just like the Great Pyramid, we have no similar monolithic temple that rivals the scale and craftsmanship of the Kailasa Temple, almost as if it were built in another era. Archaeologists assume that it was built in the 8th century because there are written records mentioning that a temple was built in the city, and nothing more. Just for comparison, it would take approximately 890 fully loaded BelAZ 75710 truckloads (450-ton payload), the largest dump truck ever built, to remove all that rock. Only three BelAZ 75710 trucks have ever been built. Each weighs 360 tons empty, consumes about 1,300 liters of diesel per 100 km, and requires specially constructed haul roads to operate. The overall footprint of the temple is 3,770 m² (40,500 sq ft). Where did all the excavated rock go? I think the temple is antediluvian, built by another civilization before the Geophysical Event.

A surprising sight at the sacred Jagannath Temple has caught the attention of devotees and social media users alike. During the daily flag-changing ritual atop the temple's towering spire, a monitor lizard was reportedly spotted near the upper section of the structure. The unusual appearance of the reptile at such a height quickly drew curiosity among those present and in videos circulating online. The incident occurred while servitors were carrying out the traditional flag-changing ceremony, a centuries-old ritual performed every day at the temple. Despite the unexpected presence of the monitor lizard, the ceremony continued without disruption. The reptile was seen moving along the temple structure before disappearing from view, leaving many viewers astonished by how it managed to climb to such a height. The visuals have sparked discussion among devotees, wildlife enthusiasts, and social media users. While some viewed the incident as a rare natural occurrence, others expressed concern about wildlife entering heritage structures. The video has since become a topic of conversation, adding another unusual chapter to the many fascinating moments associated with the revered temple in Puri.

This face was placed on a temple roof for one specific job: to scare evil away before it ever got inside. The Temple of Zeus at Aizanoi, built under Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, is considered the best-preserved Zeus temple in all of Anatolia. Displayed at the site is a massive carved bust, originally an akroterion, a roof ornament, from the temple's northwest gable. In Greco-Roman belief, a face like this was apotropaic, meaning its purpose was to ward off evil simply by being seen. Not decoration. A warning, carved in stone, mounted where everyone would notice it. Nearly 2,000 years later, she's still up there watching.

Science says bricks sink. Ancient India said: "Watch this." Welcome to the Ramappa Temple (UNESCO World Heritage Site), an 800-year-old engineering marvel in Telangana. Floating Bricks: The roof is made of bricks that actually float on water. Sandbox Technology: The foundation is built on sand to absorb earthquakes. Needle-hole Carving: Basalt (harder than iron) carved so finely a needle can pass through. High Heels: Sculptures depicting fashion centuries before the West. The only temple named after its sculptor, not the deity. Indian engineering was always ahead of the curve. 🇮🇳

"Look at the dust on the road to your temple. Drive there next Saturday. Walk the last mile if you can. Approach it the way the early Saints approached Kirtland. On foot, in the open air, with time to reflect on what you are about to do. The modern temple experience has been engineered for convenience. The parking lot is right there. The locker room is right there. The session begins at a posted time and ends at a posted time and you are out and on with your day. This convenience is mercy. The Brethren have made the temple accessible to a busy people, and the accessibility is itself a gift. But the convenience has cost us something. The early Saints walked. They walked from Far West to Kirtland for the dedication. They walked from Nauvoo to the unfinished temple on the hill. They walked from their wagon trains to the Endowment House in the valley. The walking was preparation. By the time they crossed the threshold, they had already left the world behind in their bodies, in their feet, in their breath. They arrived primed for the encounter. You will not walk a thousand miles. You can walk a mile. You can fast that morning. You can sit in the car for fifteen minutes before going in, with no phone, doing nothing but settling your spirit. You can treat the approach to the temple as part of the temple, the way they did. The temple has not been diminished by our convenience, but our reception of it has been. Restore the approach. Make the journey, however short, into something that prepares you. The temple will then meet you with a fullness it cannot give to someone who walks in distracted."

Activate notifications so you don’t miss any 🛎️ The Sagrada Familia is the unfinished masterpiece of the architect Antoni Gaudí and the maximum exponent of Catalan modernism. This expiatory temple, an indisputable symbol of Barcelona, stands out for its monumentality and for integrating deep Christian symbols and elements inspired by nature. The works began in 1882 and continue today. Its construction is possible thanks to private donations and ticket sales. The Sagrada Familia is the tallest church in the world. The temple officially reached this architectural record after the placement of the final pieces of its great cross this year. The temple is a basilica, not a cathedral. The central tower of Jesus Christ reached its maximum definitive height of 172.5 meters, surpassing the church of Ulm in Germany with its 161.53 meters.

No one is safe in West Bengal under Mamata Banerjee — least of all Hindus. Ramchandra Ghosal, son of Tarak Ghosal — the chief priest of the Raghubir Temple at the Ramakrishna Mission in Kamarpukur — was brutally beaten to death in public, right near a police outpost. A descendant of the maternal family of Sri Ramakrishna Dev, Ramchandra belonged to a lineage of immense spiritual heritage. Today, a pall of grief hangs over Kamarpukur. Shockingly, the incident took place just 200 metres from the temple — during a festival organised under the supervision of a local Trinamool Congress leader, Jagabandhu Ghosh. If such a horrific crime can happen at a place revered across the world, so close to a police outpost, what does it say about the safety of devotees and tourists who visit Bengal?

In the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh, the hero Gilgamesh is described as an enormous figure, 11 cubits tall, which would be around 5.5 meters, or 18 feet. Gilgamesh is also mentioned in the Second Temple-period Jewish Book of Giants, a text closely connected to the Enochic tradition and the story of the Watchers and their giant offspring. In ancient Mesopotamian art, Gilgamesh is often depicted grasping or restraining two full-grown lions. Another fascinating detail is that the Epic of Gilgamesh describes him as two-thirds divine and one-third human.
