    On slide presented at 27:02 onwards, I believe it is slide 16 of the presentation, after the highlighted text it says: "The cupola of the Dome is built in three sections: the inner is of ornamental plates; next come iron beams interlaced, set in free so that the wind may not cause it to shift; ...". I am not familiar with the construction of the cupola, is that an accurate description?
    If the description is accurate, the construction method used, i.e. iron beams, suggests that the cupola is no earlier than from the 18th century, and likely built later than on late 18th or 19th century.

      Until the Ottoman restorations that begun in the late 18th century, Jerusalem was a miserable, dirty place where the life expectancy was minimal.

My great-grandfather went from Ukraine to Jerusalem to die there. The Jordanians destroyed his tomb in 1948.

    Motivations for the construction of the Dome of the Rock
    At the time of its construction, the Caliph was engaged in war with Christian Byzantium and its Syrian Christian allies on the one hand and with the rival caliph Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, who controlled Mecca, the annual destination of Muslim pilgrimage, on the other hand.
    Thus, one series of explanations was that Abd al-Malik intended for the Dome of the Rock to be a religious monument of victory over the Christians.

    Correct me: I thought that the inscriptions show a deviant form of the "Quranic" texts which were thought to represent an early period when the Quran was still in part fluid. If the inscriptions are much later surely they would evince a more accurate representation of the Quranic texts? I can't keep up. I thought some inscriptions were early (the inside ones) and some late. What actual dates are we now suggesting for the complete collections and their development? 10th Century 11th century 18th Century? What about the crusader suggestion that an image was found under the temple mount?

    In Keter or in Heaven, Yahweh manifests as an uncountable amount of bald golden heads with white, glowing eyes. When God manifests himself to punish sinners, Yahweh manifests himself as a huge creature with a serpent-like body from the waist down, with from the waist up He is a creature with various types of heads of various animals, looking more like a Beast of Apocalypse than a Monotheistic God.
    In this form, the God's appearance is entirely dark with purple accents, giving him a dark appearance, as if a God of Darkness rather than a God of Light. This was the way Yahweh used to send the Flood, with the Prediluvian inhabitants getting a glimpse of what it looked like, filled with fear and terror, feeling the wrath of God upon them.

    An online article, “Hashemite Restorations of the Islamic Holy Places in Jerusalem”, mentions 1) “The First Hashemite Restoration, 1922-1924: …In 1922, a non-governmental Islamic organization, the Islamic Higher Council (IHC) was established to preserve Islamic ideals and sanctuaries alike. The IHC was the institution which took responsibility for raising capital to restore the Dome of the Rock. In harmony with his religious responsibility, Sharif Hussein contributed generously to the restoration and took personal interest in its administration. This first Hashemite restoration was completed in 1924…”; 2) “The Second Hashemite Restoration, 1952-1964: On May 8, 1952, six days after the coronation of the young King Hussein, the Jordanian government again took action towards restoring the Dome of the Rock. The 1920s restoration, a replacement of the outer wooden dome with an aluminum, gold-coated dome, was unsuccessful in stopping water leakage into the interior. The dome was also losing its exterior golden luster. The new king made the maintenance of this symbol of Islamic pride among his primary responsibilities. In 1959, the second restoration commenced, funded by Jordan...with some support from other Islamic countries...The second restoration was completed on August 6, 1964”; 3) “The Third Hashemite Restoration, 1992-1994: By the late 1980s, the dome was again beginning to dull in brightness, and damage resulting from regional violence could be seen in both the interior and exterior. King Hussein again initiated actions towards preserving the holy sites. Under his instruction, Jordan’s Ministry of Awqaf commissioned the Irish construction firm Mivan for the unprecedented job of gilding the dome with 5000 glittering new gold plates, as well as rebuilding the roof supports, repairing the basic structure of the building and fireproofing the compound. Special attention was also paid to the restoration of the Salah Eddin’s minbar and to the selection of the materials, which most closely resembled those initially used…” Seemingly, the dome may “dull in brightness” and require restoration every 3 or 4 decades.

    The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonici), also known as the Order of Solomon's Temple, the Knights Templar, or simply the Templars, was a Catholic military order, one of the most wealthy and popular of the Western Christian military orders. They were founded in 1119, headquartered on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages.
    Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church by such decrees as the papal bull Omne datum optimum of Pope Innocent II, the Templars became a favored charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were amongst the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. They were prominent in Christian finance; non-combatant members of the order, who made up as much as 90% of their members,[2][3] managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom.[4] They developed innovative financial techniques that were an early form of banking,[5][6] building a network of nearly 1,000 commanderies and fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land, and arguably forming the world's first multinational corporation.[7]
    The Templars were closely tied to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the order faded.[8] Rumours about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created distrust, and King Philip IV of France, while being deeply in debt to the order, used this distrust to take advantage of the situation. In 1307, he pressured Pope Clement to have many of the order's members in France arrested, tortured into giving false confessions, and then burned at the stake.[9] Under further pressure, Pope Clement V disbanded the order in 1312.[10] The abrupt disappearance of a major part of the European infrastructure gave rise to speculation and legends, which have kept the "Templar" name alive into the present day.
    So if the Templar's had a headquarters on the temple mount in 1119 to 1319 how did they have a Islam Mosque on the same site.
    In the mid-12th century, the tide began to turn in the Crusades. The Islamic world had become more united under effective leaders such as Saladin. Dissension arose among Christian factions in and concerning the Holy Land. The Knights Templar were occasionally at odds with the two other Christian military orders, the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights, and decades of internecine feuds weakened Christian positions, both politically and militarily. After the Templars were involved in several unsuccessful campaigns, including the pivotal Battle of Hattin, Jerusalem was recaptured by Muslim forces under Saladin in 1187. The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II reclaimed the city for Christians in the Sixth Crusade of 1229, without Templar aid, but only held it for a little more than a decade. In 1244, the Ayyubid dynasty together with Khwarezmi mercenaries recaptured Jerusalem, and the city did not return to Western control until 1917 when, during World War I, the British captured it from the Ottoman Empire.[24]
    The Templars were forced to relocate their headquarters to other cities in the north, such as the seaport of Acre, which they held for the next century. It was lost in 1291, followed by their last mainland strongholds, Tortosa (Tartus in what is now Syria) and Atlit in present-day Israel. Their headquarters then moved to Limassol on the island of Cyprus,[25] and they also attempted to maintain a garrison on tiny Arwad Island, just off the coast from Tortosa. In 1300, there was some attempt to engage in coordinated military efforts with the Mongols[26] via a new invasion force at Arwad. In 1302 or 1303, however, the Templars lost the island to the Egyptian Mamluk Sultanate in the siege of Arwad. With the island gone, the Crusaders lost their last foothold in the Holy Land.[27]
    With the order's military mission now less important, support for the organization began to dwindle. The situation was complex, however, since during the two hundred years of their existence, the Templars had become a part of daily life throughout Christendom.[28] The organisation's Templar Houses, hundreds of which were dotted throughout Europe and the Near East, gave them a widespread presence at the local level.[3] The Templars still managed many businesses, and many Europeans had daily contact with the Templar network, such as by working at a Templar farm or vineyard, or using the order as a bank in which to store personal valuables. The order was still not subject to local government, making it everywhere a "state within a state" - its standing army, though it no longer had a well-defined mission, could pass freely through all borders. This situation heightened tensions with some European nobility, especially as the Templars were indicating an interest in founding their own monastic state, just as the Teutonic Knights had done in Prussia[21] and the Knights Hospitaller were doing in Rhodes.[

I also read that the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg is what caused the Protestant reformation in Europe as until then, Bibles were too expensive and only in the possession of a few. While the Catholic church suppressed the teachings of the Bible from the monarchy and the peasants alike, the invention of the printing press made books cheaper and accessible to all. The Bible was the first book to be printed and the true teachings came to light, it led to a revolution in Europe.

    The Dome of the Rock was designed and built during the caliphate of Abd al-Malik,
    the 5th Umayyad caliph of Islam (685-705 ad), and its construction was completed in 692 ad
    under the supervision of Raja ibn Haywa and Yazid ibn Sallam who are thought to have
    been in financial and administrative control.
    Research shows that the former, from Beysan in Palestine and originally of the Kinda tribe of Yemen, worked as a treasurer and special assistant of Abd al Malik and also as advisor to two later caliphs, Sulayman (715-717 ad) and Umar II (717-720 ad). He was a renowned Tabi’, i.e., a scholar of the generation that followed the companions of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) known as
    Sahaba, a transmitter of hadith (the traditions of the Prophet) and was trustfully quoted by
    the later scholars (Ibn Asakir 1995, 359).
    In keeping with the tradition of the Sahaba’s contribution in the design of mosques of that period, it is likely that Raja ibn Haywa was also involved in the design of the Dome of the Rock. Yazid ibn Sallam was a local Jerusalemite.
    The religion of Islam introduced to the world of architecture a new type of building -
    the mosque - the basic plan of which was standardised by the time of the Dome of
    the Rock’s construction. Evolving from the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah (632 ad)
    typically it was a square or a rectangular building with an inner courtyard, the covered area
    towards the qibla (the direction to face for prayer) side being the main prayer hall, with
    narrow porticoes (riwaqs) on the other three sides.
    In the very earliest phase of Islam, all the mosques and other public buildings were very simple, made of sun-dried mud bricks and timber, providing the basic functional needs that satisfied the religious guideline for the practice of modesty in all aspects of life. Minor enlargements to the mosques were made during the rule of the pious caliphs (632-661 ad) who followed the Prophet to cater for the growing size of congregation. However, major extension to or reconstruction of the mosques with more durable and expensive materials began in the early Umayyad period - Basra 665 ad, Kufa 670 ad and Fustat 673 ad - and the mosque of Kufa was now 100 m
    (E-W) × 150 m (N-S) in plan built with stone columns specially cut from the mountain of
    Ahwaz, and its prayer hall was 16.2 m high with riwaqs surrounding the other three sides of
    the courtyard (Tabari, 4/46). These were the earliest examples of Umayyad attempts at the
    symbolic expression of the presence of Islam in a visually perceptible form. The only extant
    building of the period, the Dome of the Rock, which is ‘in all probability the first Islamic monument that was meant to be a major aesthetic achievement’ (Ettinghausen 1987, 28),
    significantly departed from the expression of modesty to that of ostentation and unlike the
    character of the earliest Islamic buildings, intended to be a prominent visual attraction. As it
    was not a mosque, a palace or a mausoleum, several hypotheses have been put forward over
    the years as to why Abd al-Malik built the Dome of the Rock
    why was it built?
    One of the reasons given for building this monument, conveniently linked with the historical
    accounts of the time, was initiated by the Shi’i historian Yaqubi in 874 ad. Abd al-Malik’s
    provincial governor for the region of Makkah and Madinah, Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr,
    considered himself independent and defied the authority of the Umayyad caliph based in the
    capital city of Damascus. To dissuade people from travelling to Makkah for Hajj, the annual
    event of Muslim pilgrimage, Abd al-Malik is said to have built the Dome of the Rock. The
    intention was to create an object of piety as an alternative to the holy Ka’ba in Makkah, a cubical structure which is circumambulated as a liturgical requirement for the Hajj.
    The element of piety for the new monument would have been provided by a number of traditions
    about the city of Jerusalem, the platform itself and the ‘rock’ lying at its centre. However,
    many scholars have refuted this reasoning and, according to a recent author, ‘When Abd
    al-Malik ordered the Dome of the Rock, Mecca was still in the hands of Abdullah ibn
    al-Zubayr, but it is unlikely that he intended it as a counter-Ka’ba, for such an act would
    have been anathema to a pious person like Abd al-Malik who had re-issued the standardised
    Uthmanic text of the Qur’an and pilgrimage continued throughout Abd Allah ibn
    al-Zubayr’s occupation’ (Blair 1992, 84-85).
    After a century of Yaqubi’s record about Abd al-Malik’s supposed order forbidding
    pilgrimage to Makkah, the writings of the 10th century Jerusalemite scholar Muqaddasi
    (1892, 22-23) form the basis of a different reason for the building of the Dome of the Rock.
    According to him, the importance of the ‘rock’ or the platform was secondary to the desire
    of offsetting the influence of architecture in Syria, ‘a country that had long been occupied by
    the Christians’, of ‘churches still belonging to them, so enchantingly fair; so renowned for
    their splendour’, and ‘. . . Khalif Abd al Malik, noting the greatness of the dome of the
    Kumamah (the Church of the Holy Sepulchre) and its magnificence, was moved lest it
    should dazzle the minds of the Muslims, and hence erected above the Rock, the Dome
    which is now seen there’. Other reasons given for the building of this monument include (1)

      The Hagia Sophia Mosque was a Xtian cathedral of Constantinople for the state church of the Roman Empire between 532 and 537 and belongs to the Xtians.
      Constantinople fell to the attacking Ottoman forces on 29 May 1453. Sultan Mehmed II entered the city and performed the Friday prayer and khutbah (sermon) in Hagia Sophia, and this action marked the official conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque.
      IN THE END TIMES
      The Muslims will give Hagia Sophia back and will form an alliance with the Orthodox christians against the Anti-Christ.

    The Dome of the Rock was erected by the Muslim ruler Abd el-Malik in 688-691.
    This shrine was covered by a lead dome from 691 until it was replaced with a gold-colored covering in the early 1960s. Because of rust, the anodized aluminum cover was again replaced in 1993 with a gold covering.
    Founding Inscription
    Inside the building in classical Arabic is inscribed, “O you People of the Book, overstep not bounds in your religion, and of God speak only the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only an apostle of God, and his Word which he conveyed unto Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from him. Believe therefore in God and his apostles, and say not Three. It will be better for you. God is only one God. Far be it from his glory that he should have a son.”
