The Western Wall is the last remnant of both Solomons Temple, which was destroyed by the Babylonians in the 6th Century BC, and the Second Temple, which was destroyed by the Roman Tenth Legion under Titus in AD70.
In the lowest part of what was actually a retaining wall for the Temple platform, huge stones with neat borders remain from Solomons days. Then on the top of these are smaller, less ornate stones that were installed at the time of the building of the Second Temple.

A different version of this same story was posted over last weekend and somebody had commented that the western wall was pali territory because mohommed had tied up his horse there before ascending to heaven. I thought he was being sarcastic, LOL. Turns out he wasn't.

I'm contacting A.D. Bill Bradshaw with that. Sure beats the heck out of "Temple Football, a relatively cheap way to check out The Linc."

"Islam has for many years been waging a campaign to destroy any evidence of a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount."
Apparently it is easier to prove where a horse was tied.
Frankly, it's not really possible to prove either, but separate sides want to believe any evidence to be overwhelmingly compelling evidence when engaged in a real estate dispute.

Recently I saw a discussion that the ancient name "philistines" mant invaders. As an insult to the Jews, the Romans named the land Philistia or Palestine. Truth in history is hard to extinguish. Arafat invaded Israel from Jordan(palestine) and his terrorist heirs still cling to proclaiming that they are invaders with no rights to Isreali lands. as they follow the plo banner of invasion and theft and murder.
