About This File
FSX Scenery--Jerusalem Temple. This is an alternative scenery file for the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Israel) and depicts the historical second Jewish Temple that was renovated by Herod and destroyed by the Romans in about 70 CE after standing for 420 years. This model is based on the actual physical scale model currently displayed at the Western Wall Tunnel in Jerusalem. That was constructed from comprehensive research encompassing a triangulation of Talmudical and Rabbinical literature, Josephus and contemporary archaeological findings.
The structure although historic and no longer in existence is placed on an overlay aerial photo of the location to indicate how the contemporary Temple Mount site (with its Western Wall) relates to what was once there. This modern depiction is also an allusion to the fact that the Third Temple (perhaps looking similar) will one day be rebuilt there. As such, forward thinking pilots and air crew frequenting the region might wish to familiarise themselves on FSX with a future landmark. You can land on this model and explore. Most surfaces including steps and roofs are landable but consider switching off crash detection.
