Reidinger's work on the Jerusalem temple

Erwin Reidinger would like to establish a new research discipline structural archeology, which combines structural , geodetic and astronomical methods in order to reconstruct ancient temples. Based on the kinking of the east wall of the Herodian temple platform, which he identified with the northeast corner of the Solomonic temple with the help of Ez 42  EU , Reidinger believed he could determine the central axis of the Solomonic temple. He then determined when the sun rose through this central axis on the 1st day of Passover during the reign of Solomon , and came to the conclusion that the building was on April 18, 957 BC. Was started. This is an outsider thesis, which also presupposes what Finkelstein and others have questioned, namely that Solomon built the temple.
