Temple Mount Antiquities Destroyed In 'Cultural Intifadah' [Excerpts]
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israeli archeologists are quietly sifting through
tons of dirt that Islamic religious authorities excavated from the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem several years ago -- an excavation that critics have
dubbed a "cultural intifadah."
Using heavy machinery instead of the hand tools of an archeologist, the
Islamic religious authorities several years ago dug out a giant "emergency
exit" -- some 36 feet deep and 130 feet wide -- for a mosque built earlier
under the Temple Mount. The unsupervised removal of tons of soil has been
called an "archeological crime." The material was dumped in several spots
outside the Old City in eastern Jerusalem, including the Kidron Valley.
In a small national park on the eastern side of Jerusalem, with a view of
the golden Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount visible in the distance, Dr.
Gabriel Barkay of Bar-Ilan University has been quietly working with several
archeology students and a host of volunteers for six months to sift through
the material dug out of the Temple Mount.
They wanted to keep a low profile, he said, so as not to attract the
attention of people who might want to put a stop to the project. So far they
have found thousands of artifacts jumbled together from various eras.
Barkay said it was a tragedy that the Western world was not more concerned
about the destruction of the antiquities on the Temple Mount.
The world community was outraged when the Taliban blew up two 165-foot
nearly 2,000-year-old statues of Buddha in Afghanistan in 2001. But the
destruction of "the heartland of [Jewish and Christian] faith did not create
an effect as it should have done," said Barkay.
"Very clearly parallel to the armed [Palestinian] intifadah is also the
cultural intifadah, more serious than the armed intifadah, Palestinians
claiming Jews never had a right to this country, Jews were never here,"
Barkay added.
"The material is without context, stratification. It was brutally uprooted
from its roots. It lost 80 percent of its archeological value." Barkay said.
Nevertheless, they will save 20 percent of its value, which is "more than
zero, still significant," he added.
A shipping container at the site, which acts as an office, contains many
flat cardboard boxes on a worktable, full of categorized treasures that have
been found.
By the door stands that largest piece -- a three-foot-high section of a
marble pillar with purple veins running through it. The marble would have
been imported from Asia Minor, Barkay said. They know it came from the
Temple Mount because there are others like it there, Barkay said.
They have found pottery shards -- 15 percent of which date back to the First
Jewish Temple period -- the days of Biblical King Solomon. But workers will
never be able to put together a complete vessel because of the way things
were mixed up, he said.
Barkay said the workers won't be able to finish sifting all of the material
they have but will get a good sampling. The project, which is funded by
private donors, is scheduled to continue until summer, he said. All of the
artifacts as well as the remaining material from the Temple Mount belong to
the Antiquities Authority by law (Julie Stahl, CNSNews.com, Jerusalem Bureau
Chief, May 06, 2005). |

i dunno why they make up such crap
part of being a muslim is believing in Jesus n Mary, and respecting all religions, and if they think its revenging what happend, they are so wrong, or maybe even its just media propaganda, alot of things on the news are not true, its just bad that they spread hate, through religion, religion is here to help us, and if u dont need it dont use it , just never make it a reason to kill, and making all muslims equal to bin ladin is just not fair, it could be alot more better without the Tention , hope everybody could live without it
peace |

Well that article that ShadowWolf posted is from CSNnews.com which is a neoconservative media outlet and neocons are the biggest supporters of Israel going, along with their Christian Zionist allies. So is it really any suprise that these stories about what the Palestinians are doing to Christians are appearing in these outlets and not the mainstream media? |

the problem is, that the media takes sides,
and each side has their own side of the story
cuz they do not want to piss off the ones they support,
neither is close to the truth,
cuz they know people cant handle the plain truth,
its their way to control people,
soft power.
peace. |

well said my friend. Twats like josh4 making ridiculous generalisations 'muslims kill people' should be banished from this earth. I mean honestly, to come that understanding, you must be living in some hole being brainwashed by the latest from Fox and CSN. Individuals like Bin Laden represent a minority, an extremist minority, which sanctions the killing of not only followers of other beliefs, but muslims who dont abide by their strict and extremist doctrine. Being a muslim, it brings me not greater distaste that this is the only perception of Islam which is portrayed throughout the majority of the western media. I dont want to go into my theory about American endeavours to establish a new 'cold war' to justify third world intervention but seriously guys! grow up and more importantly grow a brain! how can you possibly right off an entire religion based on the madness of a few. |

for me, islam is the best thing that ever happend to me,
im not religious or so, but i know i'm blessed with it.
and i hate it when i see even people of my own religion using it for their own deeds, and it makes me even more sick when i see the western media having fun with all of this n making it worse for everyone,
i think its great there are people out there who share the same opinion, and for the people who dont agree with me, its good that we'r discussing it, n sharing out views.
respect.
peace. |

I was comparing his saying that Josh should be banished from the Earth to Bin Laden being an extremist. Is banning someone from the planet not a slightly extremist position to hold? |
