I like the part about the tool being lodged for thousands of years in the stone.

People always speculate how these big stones were cut- now it’s a no-brainer. Thank you ditzy 2000 year old mason.

The Israel Antiquities Authority said on Sunday experts believe stones as long as 8 meters (24 feet) were extracted from the quarry and then dragged by oxen to building sites in Jerusalem for major projects such as the temple.

My recollection is that this one, which is part of the western wall, is a lot longer than 24 feet! It extends from where I am taking the picture to my son (six feet tall, in the orange shirt).

The complex known as Temple Mount by Jews is also revered by Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary). It houses Islam's third-holiest mosque, making it Jerusalem's most contested site and giving it a pivotal role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

complete with the requisite kowtow to islamic revisionism.
