Today, we are taking a rare inside look at one of Jerusalem’s most beautiful yet controversial landmarks, the Dome of the Rock, also known as the Temple Mount.
National Geographic Magazine was granted unprecedented access to this site from the cave below to the Dome above. We are privileged to welcome as today’s guest the writer of National Geographic’s September cover story, who will discuss what has been a mystery for archeologists and historians for many centuries.
He has published numerous books and articles in scientific journals, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Geographic, and Smithsonian.
We are talking today with best-selling author Andrew Lawler.
