Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Well of Souls (Arabic: Bir el- Arweh) is a natural cave located immediately beneath the Foundation Stone under the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In addition to a small well shaped hole in the stone that looks into the cave, there is also an entrance on the southern side, via a set of steps passing through a gap between the stone and the surrounding bedrock. The cave takes the form of a moderately sized room (similar in floor space to the stone), the ceiling curving to the ground gently, and the floor having been flattened and carpeted. The southern end of the cave, through which the steps enter it, has man-made walls to provide structural support to the cave roof above the steps. Rabbi David ben Solomon ibn Abi Zimra attested to the existence of a cave, found under the Dome of the Rock, known as the Well of Souls.
