"SECOND TEMPLE -- AUDIO VISUAL TOUR ONLINE"


This audio visual of the Second Temple is well worth viewing.  The tour begins with the website link below, and if you want to hear what was said again for any of the visual slides, then just press the button again on the extreme left hand side of the page to replay the tape accompanying the picture you are viewing.  I really enjoyed watching it.  Notice that the Women's Courtyard is shaped like a CROSS.  It also told why the priests had to walk around the temple marble floors in their bare feet.  There was also a special chamber where the stones from the altar defiled by the Greeks were stored, and it tells how the Holy Sanctuary if in need of repairs was repaired by craftsmen who were lowered down through special holes in the roof in boxes, and only one side of the box was open so that they could only see the wall inside of the Holy Sanctuary that they needed to work on.  It tells why the craftsmen were not allowed to go thru the main entrance into the Holy Sanctuary, but that info is at the end of the tour.  Enjoy yourself as you take this tour.
