"which appears to furnish proof of the existence of the Temple"
We know there was a Temple.
We know the Romans burned it down.
So why are these guys so bent on hedging and saying that they have to prove it existed?
The Romans made the Arch of Titus in commemoration of flattening the place.
If authentic, it'll go a little towards squelching the morons who insist there never was a Temple there. 'Course there are those types who insist there never was a Temple, and will never accept that truth even when presented with irrefutable evidence.

As I recall the FIRST Temple was destroyed about 786BC by The Caldeans (Persians). The Second Temple was built 70 years later the remains of which are visible in the wailing wall. could someone verivy?
