WORLD IN BRIEF : ISRAEL : Intact Remains of 2nd Temple Found
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
An Israeli archeologist said that the first intact remains from the period of the Biblical Second Temple have been found. Dan Bahat said that a street adjacent to the Western Wall in Jerusalem and pieces of stone and pottery vessels on it survived because Christian and Muslin conquerors built new structures on top without clearing the debris. The street in the Temple Mount promenade is about 25 feet underground.
