Thank you for sharing this amazing piece of history and architechture with people from very far away. I am deeply touched by your beautiful photographs. If it was really built by Solomon 4000 years ago, one can imagine what the temple in Jerusalem might have looked like. Wish I had a better idea of the scale of the place, to compare it with Karnak for instance. If this really represents semitic architecture from that period, I imagine one can trace in some elements the origins of later Greek and Roman styles. Fascinating! I'll surely explore some of your other galleries as well.
