Different estimate of colossal stone
[edit]The History channel provided a different estimate of the colossal foundation stone. It is based on the dimensions 44'4" by 11'3" by 16'6" 567 tons This would mean aproximately 2.6 tons per cubic meter. This is one of many colossal stones that have conflicting estimates from seemingly reliable sources. I have heard that there may be more colossal stones in the foundation bigger than 50 to 100 tons but not as big as this one but no specifics or confirmation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zacherystaylor (talk • contribs) 05:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
List of megalithic sites
[edit]This site has megalithic stones in it the following is a quote from the article: "To do this, a trench was dug around the mountain, and huge stone "bricks" were laid – the largest measuring 44.6 feet by 11 feet by 16.5 feet and weighing approximately 567 to 628 tons,[1][2] while most were in the range of 2.5 by 3.5 by 15 feet (approximately 28 tons)."
The 5 hundred ton stone is one of the largest stones moved with ancient technology and it is near the top of the list of megaliths moved with ancient technology. If there is no further objection I'll put the list of megalithic sites link back soon. Thanks. Zacherystaylor (talk) 17:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
2nd Temple building did not remain intact
[edit]In order for Herod's Temple to be built, the entire 2nd Temple had first to be torn down. However, an agreement was reached whereby the Cohanim would oversee the construction of the new temple and the sacrificial system would continue unabated. However, the new building replaced the old building entirely. Jacob Davidson —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.68.95.65 (talk) 19:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
