| Notes: |
Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Matt., xxi:28.)--The square upon which the Mosque
of Omar stands contains thirty-five acres. Here stood the court, the palaces and the temple of Solomon, the temporary and
inferior temple built by Nehemiah, and the gorgeous and magnificent temple built by Herod. The rock, sixty feet one way and
fifty feet the other, over which rises the dome of the Mosque of Omar, is the most interesting spot in the world. Here Melchizedek
offered sacrifice; here Abraham was about to offer Isaac; here Jacob saw the ladder leading up to heaven; here was the threshing
floor of Araunah, the Jebusite; here was the site of an 'Altar for the burnt offering of Israel,' upon which David sacrificed,
and here was the altar of the temples of Solomon, Zerubbabel and Herod." Copyright year and photographer's name are printed
at the bottom of the photograph, along with "Franklin Co Eng-Chi." See 5383BAI/LVii109CAJS (Voyager # 362198)
