Although not one stone remains upon another of the celebrated Temple of Jerusalem, the descriptions in the Bible and Josephus are precise enough to interpret the various temples in the light of other buildings and recent rediscoveries by archaeologists.
The architect finds various aspects of masonry fascinating in addition to the obvious integration of tools and architectural details into an esoteric philosophy; none more so than the historic evolution of the temple plan and its interior. It might be of interest, therefore, to examine:
1) The temple in evolution
2) The use of the orders
3) The tools, guildmen, artisans and craftsmen.
