Temple of Solomon, Temple of Herod
« on: February 16, 2012, 12:34:18 AM »
I have a question - is the Temple of Solomon the same as the Temple of Herod?  The question came up in a class today.

I don't think so.  I think Herod's Temple is the second Temple while Solomon built the first.

Yeah, that seems to be what I found as well.  Same site, different temple.
