both israel and the palestinians lay claim to jerusalem and its holy sites . israel maintains security and legal control over the temple mount while the muslim waqf has religious , economic , administrative , and some security control there . past negotiations have faltered on palestinian denial of any jewish religious or historical connection and rights to the temple mount . during the july 2000 negotiations at camp david , yasir arafat refused to acknowledge jewish ties to the temple mount , claiming the jewish temple never existed there . when talks resumed in taba later that year , the israelis agreed to full palestinian sovereignty on the temple mount , but requested palestinians acknowledge the sacredness of the temple mount to judaism . they refused . according to then - foreign minister shlomo ben - ami :

while jews were barred from entering and praying at their holy sites during jordanian rule ( 1948 - 67 ) , jerusalem and the temple mount were largely ignored as important muslim holy sites . but when israel gained control of eastern jerusalem and the temple mount in 1967 , the area once again became a focal point for muslim religious fervor and incitement . despite the fact that israeli authorities turned control of the temple mount over to the jordanian islamic waqf as a gesture of peace , muslims have followed the example set by haj amin al husseini and have attempted to use the temple mount as a pretext to gain world support against jewish authority over jerusalem .

truth is incontrovertible , ignorance can deride it , panic may resent it , malice may destroy it , but there it is .
one of the main obstacles in previous peace - making efforts has been the issue of dividing jerusalem and control over the temple mount . muslim denial of judaism’s historical and religious ties to jerusalem and the temple mount , the waqf’s illegal construction there , and the violent response to jewish activities there present an obstacle to peace - making efforts .
although the quran never mentions jerusalem or the temple mount , the designation of a concrete site to what had been until then just a figurative name provided muslims with a new religious focus . several qur’anic verses were subsequently construed to be obliquely referring to jerusalem . the temple mount was renamed by muslims al haram al sharif , the noble sanctuary .

and on april 29 th , another ex - passenger on the mount temple , doctor f . c . quitzrau , swore an affidavit before william james elliott , notary public for the province of ontario , canada , and said the titanic was sighted by some of the officers and crew , but that as soon as it was seen , all the lights on the mount temple were put out , the engines stopped , and the ship allowed to lie dead for 2 hours . the mount temple ’s officers were not called to give evidence at the hearings .
the battle over jerusalem and the temple mount is an ongoing one and the most important issue confronting arab and israeli peacemakers . a thorough understanding of the forces at work is thus essential .
fo 369 / 522 foreign office correspondence , 1912 - this material is similar to that found in fo 115 / 1710 . there is a great deal of correspondence about the efforts to identify the mystery ship seen from the sinking titanic and by the ss mount temple , and a surprising number of suspects are named .
the muslim waqf , however , consistently refuses to recognize israeli sovereignty or the laws governing holy sites . attempting to change the status quo of the temple mount , the waqf has repeatedly flouted these laws with excavations and construction of new mosques . many believe that under the guise of renovations on the temple mount , the waqf is deliberately destroying archeological evidence of the site’s jewish history .
the mount temple was the fourth vessel that canadian pacific lines lost during the first world war , and by the war ' s end , cp lines would lose a total of 18 ships . its sister ship ( the ss montezuma ) was torpedoed and sunk by the german submarine uc - 41 on 25 july 1917 .
molony examines mount temple’s log — mysteriously devoid of any mention of titanic ; the impossibility of moore’s testimonies about his ship’s position , speed and course , and the irreconcilable conflict between the ship’s wireless procès verbal records and moore’s avowals . the author argues that having found their man in californian’s stanley lord , both inquiries’ questioning of mount temple’ s master was perfunctory and at times nearly sycophantic .

there is a controversy among orthodox rabbis regarding the permissibility of entering the temple mount compound . many prohibit entering the compound because of the risk that someone ritually unpure might tread on the site of the holy of holies whose precise location is not known . others permit entering the temple mount , saying they have determined where one can stand without touching holy soil . this area includes herod’s expansion of the temple , such as solomon’s stables , and the strip behind the western wall .
the waqf cut off all access to the israeli antiquities authority from the temple mount in 2000 . in response to the continued unauthorized construction work by the waqf on the temple mount , a non - political , volunteer committee was formed to take action . called “the committee for the prevention of destruction of antiquities on the temple mount , ” ( cpdatm ) it included prominent archeologists , judges , lawyers , literary and other public figures from across the israeli political spectrum . . they called upon the prime minister to order the immediate halt to the illegal , unsupervised construction by the waqf on the temple mount – work which , they claimed , was causing “grave harm to archeology . ” the waqf was accused of large - scale construction over an area of thousands of square meters , using heavy machinery , paving over extensive areas , and removing earth rich in archeological findings . the shin bet also warned the prime minister of waqf plans to open additional mosques on the temple mount .
from the herodian period , aside from dozens of jewish ritual baths surrounding the temple that have been uncovered , one retaining wall of the temple , the western wall , still stands .

the mount temple saw use in november 1901 as a boer war transport ship . the ship was named for william francis cowper ( 1811 - 1888 ) , baron mount temple , an english politician and lord of the admiralty . the ship was 8790 gross tons and was 485 feet long . it also had one funnel , four masts , twin screw propellors , and a top speed of 13 knots .
upon israel’s 1967 capture of eastern jerusalem containing judaism’s holiest sites , israeli minister of defense moshe dayan immediately ordered soldiers to remove an israeli flag that had been raised over the temple mount . he declared :

the ss mount temple was one of the ships that responded to the titanic ' s distress signals on 14 april 1912 . the ship ' s master , capt . moore , stopped short of helping titanic , claiming the ice was too thick to safely pass through . controversy abounds concerning moore ' s recollections of the mount temple ' s true speed on the evening of 14 april 1912 , how far away she was from the distress position when she turned to help , and how far she was from titanic when she stopped . rumors that mount temple under capt . moore ignored titanic ' s distress rockets abounded at the time and persist to this day . it is said that mount temple was the
mystery ship
seen by officers and passengers aboard the titanic five to ten miles away , rather than the ss californian as implied by lord mersey and the british board of trade at the british inquiry . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] these rumours are strongly contested however , and many continue to firmly believe that the
californian
must have been the ship seen from the
titanic
, and vice versa .

according to paleontologist darren tanke , who described the events at the seventh annual symposium of the alberta palaeontological society in 2003 , when the mount temple was ordered to stop and surrender by the möwe , someone on board turned the single deck gun of the canadian ship towards the german boat . taking this as an act of aggression , the crew of the möwe fired upon the mount temple , killing three and injuring several others .
in 1916 , he collected fossils from the campanian oldman formation in alberta , canada . the area is now part of the dinosaur provincial park , a unesco world heritage site . some of this collection was lost at sea in 1917 when the ss mount temple was sunk by a german torpedo . the surviving material includes the type specimen of the horned dinosaur spinops .

he offers evidence of alteration of the ship’s log and her wireless procès verbal . he suggests that the “tramp steamer” allegedly encountered by mount temple as it made for titanic’s sinking site was moore’s fabrication to send investigators on a wild - goose chase to divert attention from his own actions . why , the author asks , did so many of mount temple’ s crew desert upon their arrival in canada , some voicing their concerns to local reporters ?
and regarding the mount temple . . … even as the titanic ’s officers and crew were still stripping away the canvas covers from the lifeboats , and the passengers were beginning to assemble and wait for somebody to tell them what to do , the mount temple picked up the call for help , and around 12 : 30 , ship’s time , the wireless operator , john durant , woke captain moore and told him the titanic was sending “cqd” .
captain moore stuck with his account which was entered in the ship ' s log . none of these witnesses was ever called before the british or american inquiries . it ' s hard to say if the mount temple was that unknown ship . was moore too cautious or did he make a valiant effort to penetrate the ice field ? and if the mystery ship wasn ' t mount temple , could it have been the one observed by the californian ?
below are examples of statements by palestinian political and religious leaders and academics as well as other arab and muslim leaders denying the jewish connection to jerusalem and the temple mount , especially during negotiations over jerusalem and its holy sites .

jewish reverence for the temple mount ( har habayit ) long predates the building of the dome of the rock and al aqsa mosque in the 7 th century ce , and even predates the construction of the first jewish temple ( beit hamikdash ) by king solomon almost 2000 years earlier in 954 bce and which was destroyed in 587 bce .

ha’aretz columnist nadav shragai has written about the lack of supervision over the waqf’s illegal building . he points out that both the israel antiquities authority and the municipal licensing and inspection department have been denied access to the temple mount and information about what happens there . moreover , there appears to be a “deliberate interference” by police and whoever is in charge to prevent information from reaching the antiquities authority . ( see “ the latest damage to antiquities on the temple mount ” by nadav shragai . )
ikrima sabri , until recently the palestinian authority - appointed mufti of jerusalem and the highest ranking islamic clerical authority in the pa , insists jews have no connection to any part of the temple mount , including the western wall . in 1997 , he proclaimed :
solomon’s temple , i believe , was built by the canaanites who were the neighbors of the israelis , the israelites… i want to state several words clearly : the bible became an archival document , not representing what the israelis and the first jews were , but what they thought they were , what they imagined . the temple is the fruit of their imagination . in any case , when our nation or our canaanite forefathers came to palestine , they built the temple… a temple in jerusalem…
when knesset member ariel sharon visited the temple mount ( but none of the mosques there ) in september 2000 , arafat used it as a pretext to launch a violent and bloody intifada against israel that lasted for years and in which thousands were killed or maimed .
canadian pacific deck officer w . h baker said the mount temple ’s officers had told him they were 14 miles from the titanic . kenervorst said 5 miles , and he saw her … . . doctor quitzrau also swore the titanic had been sighted . but who was telling the truth ? the passengers and officers , or the captain ? we know ships’ lights were seen from the decks of the titanic . were they the frankfurt ( before phillips called its wireless operator a fool and captain hattorff took his ship out of the picture ) ? some believe they were . others are convinced they were the californian . surely , they could not have been the mount temple ’s because , according to doctor quitzrau , as soon as the titanic was sighted , all lights on the mount temple were put out .
earlier this month , archaeologists with the israeli antiquities authority discovered a 3 , 700 - year - old jerusalem wall—the oldest and biggest ever uncovered in the region—that they believe was built by the canaanites before the first temple period . it’s true : there is scant archaeological evidence of the first temple . but not so for the second temple , which is accepted as historical fact by most archaeologists .
1931 - 1953 ( owned jointly by cp and union ss co . of new zealand and operated as canadian australasian line ) , 1940 requisitioned as troopship , 1948 resumed service , 1953 scrapped .
the ship was captured roughly half - way between cape race and spain , roughly 2 , 000 kilometres ( 1 , 200 mi ) north of the azores on 6 december 1916 . the sms möwe , outwardly a cargo ship , closed with the mount temple . after the gun crew of the mount temple fired , the germans fired back and with their superior firepower silenced the gun . four crew members aboard the mount temple were killed in the brief battle . over a hundred crew and passengers were taken off before explosives were used to help scuttle her . on 12 december 1916 , they were brought aboard the captured british ship yarrowdale and they arrived at swinemunde , germany on 31 december . the us citizens among them were released in early march 1917 as the united states was neutral at the time . the others were interned as prisoners of war .

yet , tanke suggests , all might not be lost . it might just be possible to salvage the bones from the wreck of the mount temple . the german sailors recorded the approximate coordinates at which they sunk the canadian ship , and based upon peculiarities of the construction of mount temple it is possible that the fossil cargo was dumped out of the sinking ship and headed straight down to the bottom more than 14 , 000 feet below . this would make any attempt at finding and recovering the fossils extremely challenging , but tanke is optimistic about the prospect . he concludes :
the jews have no connection whatsoever with jerusalem and have no sacraments there . they claim that the temple of solomon is there…the temple of solomon does not exist in jerusalem…therefore the jews have no connection or right to have any presence in jerusalem , or any authority there .
the beit hamikdash was built , according to jewish tradition , on the even hashtiya , the foundation stone upon which the world was created . this is considered the epicenter of judaism , where the divine presence ( shechina ) rests , where the biblical isaac was brought for sacrifice , where the holy of holies and ark of the covenant housing the ten commandments once stood , and where the temple was again rebuilt in 515 bce before being destroyed by the romans in 70 ce . the temple mount is also known as mount moriah ( har hamoriah ) , mentioned frequently in the torah .
mt 9 / 920f board of trade marine department correspondence - highlights include a letter to stanley lord from w h baker relating the events that occurred aboard the ss mount temple on the night of 14 / 15 april and calling into question the identification of the californian as the mystery ship seen from the sinking titanic . extracts from the british inquiry report of the court with indications of the action the board of trade , castigated by lord mersey , thought necessary to update the existing maritime regulations .
in 1999 , after receiving approval to open an emergency exit in the marwani mosque , the waqf used bulldozers to expand the solomon’s stable mosque and excavate a massive opening ( 18 , 000 square feet by 36 feet ) . as ha’aretz columnist nadav shragai wrote , “for the first time since 1967 , a fleet of dozens of bulldozers and trucks was put to work on the temple mount , and 6 , 000 tons of earth from the mount was dug up and removed . ” workers dumped this rubble in the kidron valley . amir drori , director of the antiquities authority at the time , called it “an archeological crime” and attorney general elyakim rubenstein denounced it as “an assault on jewish history . ” ( see “ media mute on the temple mount desecrations “ )

immediately after israeli soldiers occupied arab east jerusalem back in 1967 , the hebrew university , the israeli ministry of religious affairs , and the department of antiquities collectively and individually began a massive excavation campaign in arab east jerusalem in a bid to find allocate traces of jewish existence from the so called ‘temple mount era . ’
so why do those like mr . tamimi deny what their predecessors acknowledged ? to undermine israel , which earned statehood in 1948 and captured the old city of jerusalem during the six day war of 1967 . since then , palestinian leaders have fought to erase any jewish connection to sacred places , particularly the temple mount .
on december 6 , 1916 , two years into
the war to end all wars ,
a german naval crew destroyed a set of 75 - million - year - old dinosaur skeletons . recovered from what is now dinosaur provincial park in canada by the famous fossil - hunting family the sternbergs , the old bones were en route to england on the canadian merchant ship ss mount temple , but as the ship was crossing the atlantic it was intercepted by the german military ship the sms möwe . things quickly got out of hand .
this could have been secreted away by the temple priests in any of the numerous tunnels known to exist beneath solomon ' s stables on the temple mount - stables which the templars made use of during their nine - year stay . this could have , in fact , been the purpose behind the foundation of their order - a mission based upon knowledge that had been passed down from christ ' s descendants to the merovingians , and then on to the templars ' founders .
…the issue of the temple is a zionist innovation . no one said that the temple that was built in jerusalem , neither the canaanite nor roman , no one said that it was in the place of the [ islamic ] al haram . ” ( pa tv , aug . 2 , 2004 )
the western wall ( kotel hama’aravi , known simply as the wall or kotel ) is the remnant of the outer retaining wall built by herod to level the ground and expand the area housing the second jewish temple . its holiness derives from its proximity to the temple site and specifically its proximity to the western wall of the temple’s holy of holies ( kodesh hakodashim— the inner sanctuary that housed the ark of the covenant –aron habrit– and where the high priest– kohen gadol — alone was permitted to enter on yom kippur ) . according to midrashic sources , the divine presence never departed from the western wall of the temple’s holy of holies .
the actions of the s . s . mount temple are frequently underplayed in written accounts . this ship received the first distress signal at 00 : 30 when it was an estimated 49 miles away ; captain moore immediately turned his ship around and proceeded at the ship ' s maximum possible speed ( 11 . 5 knots ) with the stokers working flat out , to the location given by the titanic , but on arrival at the given position at 04 : 30 found no ship and was facing an impenetrable wall of ice ; it was subsequently shown that the position given by the titanic was eight miles out , and that it was probably located on the other side of that ice floe . had titanic been where stated , mount temple would have been the first vessel to arrive , albeit still only after her sinking . messages from the titanic were received by the mount temple radio operator john oscar durrant ( 1892 - c1962 ) ; these were relayed to halifax , and durrant appeared at the subsequent inquiry in halifax to give evidence .

what did boxhall really see ? probably not a ship ; not the four masts . he saw lights ( he said that : lights , plural ) quite far apart , which made him assume , because of the distance between them , it was a four - master ( the californian had four masts , but so too did the mount temple ) .
according to jewish tradition , jerusalem’s designation as judaism’s most sacred city made it the obvious place for king solomon to build the holy temple following the death of his father , king david . after the temple’s destruction by the babylonians , it was rebuilt by king herod before being destroyed by the romans in a . d . 70 .
further questioning of the mount temple ’s captain also revealed that the frankfurt and titanic exchanged messages including , from the titanic … we have struck iceberg and sinking . yet bride testified emphatically there was no communication between the two aside from the german’s acknowledgement of phillips’ “cqd” and that ‘silly’ request for more details . bride swore repeatedly the frankfurt did not give its position .

even while they attempt to change the status quo of the temple mount , muslim leaders oppose any jewish effort to visit , investigate , excavate , repair , or renovate the area . from the 1920’s onward , arab leaders have repeatedly incited anti - jewish violence and jihad in the name of “defending” muslim holy sites , a pretense for jihad in the name of islam .
this 66 - page book needs to be translated into english and re - published , with an updated forward that connects his historical activity with current events . perhaps this could be an important follow - up to the temple mount guide , connecting the guide with the president of the supreme muslim council . anyone willing to translate about 50 + pages to help spread the truth ?
for 34 years they [ jews ] have dug tunnels , the most dangerous of which is the great tunnel . they found not a single stone proving that the temple of solomon was there , because historically the temple was not in palestine [ at all ] . they found only remnants of a shrine of the roman herod .

but muslim acknowledgement of a jewish historic bond to this holy site changed following israel’s victory in the 1967 war , when jerusalem came under israel’s control . palestinian and muslim leaders began to alter their line . while the stories they recount differ from one to another , they are consistent in their attempt to erase the jewish connection to the temple mount , jerusalem , and indeed all of israel .
smith put the same question to bride a number of times and in a variety of ways . the reply did not change : the frankfurt did not give its position . but a week later , when questioning the captain of the canadian pacific mount temple , the senator was surprised to hear james henry moore say the frankfurt had given its position as 39° 47’ north , 52° 10’ west .
ss mount temple was among the first ships to respond to rms titanic distress call . ship ' s lone marconi wireless operator , john durrant , was about to sign off for the evening at around 12 : 30 a . m . ship ' s time when he picked up the distress signal from rms titanic . he had the message relayed to the bridge by a steward . captain moore decided to mount a rescue operation . he had durrant respond to the cqd , then immediately turned his ship around and steamed north - northeast at the vessel ' s maximum speed of 11 . 5 knots ( 13 . 2 mph ; 21 . 2 km / h ) towards titanic ' s reported position , approximately 49 mi ( 78 km ) away . even at full speed , it would take around 4 hours to cover the distance between his ship and doomed rms titanic .
a 1983 article and editorial in biblical archeology review accused the waqf of concealing evidence of the first ( solomonic ) and second temples with dirt , plantings and paving . the editorial demanded that qualified archeologists be given access to survey the temple mount site and called upon muslim and jewish archeologists to cooperate in preserving archeological remains there . the journal published before and after pictures of the archeological damage . .
mt 9 / 920c board of trade marine department correspondence - material includes casualty lists , statement from the master of the russian ss birma , wireless message transcripts from the sinking titanic culminating in the message :
women and children in boats ; cannot last much longer .
the israeli authorities repeatedly failed to enforce the antiquity laws or to stop the waqf’s unauthorized excavations because they felt it would be harmful to arab - israeli relations . this prompted a lawsuit against both the waqf and israeli authorities by “the temple mount faithful , ” an israeli group seeking to rebuild a third jewish temple on the site of the first and second temples . the supreme court ruled that the waqf had indeed violated israel’s antiquities laws on 35 occasions , causing irreparable damage or destruction to antiquities , but refused to intervene because of political sensitivities and the understanding that the laws would be enforced appropriately in the future .
during jordan’s occupation of jerusalem , jews were unable to even reach their holy sites . after israel gained control of the temple mount , judaism’s holiest site , large - scale archaeological expeditions near the western wall area were begun by professor benjamin mazar , followed by additional excavations by meir ben dov and dan bahat . they uncovered layers of history over 2000 years — from the first temple period to ottoman times– which were preserved and displayed . despite the valuable historical finds — several of them muslim , they were met by resistance and often violent efforts to obstruct israeli excavations under the guise of israeli “aggression” toward muslim holy sites .
guillame de tyre , the chief chronicler of the age and an intimate associate of king baldwin , doesn ' t even mention them , causing the authors of holy blood , holy grail to suspect that he had been silenced by the royal muzzle to cover up for the templars ' actual activities - excavating the temple mount . the authors speculate that when the roman legions sacked the temple in 70 a . d . , they took only the most obvious loot , unwittingly leaving behind the most valuable treasure , chief among which would have been the ark of the covenant , and perhaps , the artifact which came to be known as the holy grail .
bt 350 registrar general of shipping and seamen , 1918 - 21 - material from the registrar general of shipping and seamen . shows the individuals name , date and place of birth , and rating at the time the entry was made . some give other details such as tattoo marks . seventy - three of the 211 titanic crew members who survived the titanic disaster have registration information include in this file . including frederick fleet , the lookout man who first saw the iceberg , master of ss californian stanley lord , the ss californian was identified in inquests as the
mystery ship ,
second officer charles lightoller , and fifth officer harold lowe .
by contrast , an attempt in 1981 by the rabbi of the western wall , yehuda meir getz , to secretly reopen an ancient sealed gate and manually excavate an existent tunnel carved into the rock under the temple mount ( believed to lead to the holy of holies and possibly the original lost ark of the covenant ) was halted by the israeli government , which ordered the opening sealed with reinforced concrete . ( see “ raiders of the lost ark ” by nadav shragai )
its identity with the site of solomon’s temple is beyond dispute . ” and the booklet quotes the book of samuel : “this , too , is the spot , according to the universal belief , on which ‘david built there an altar unto the lord , and offered burnt offering and peace offerings . ” later , the booklet says the underground structure known as king solomon’s stables probably dates “as far back as the construction of solomon’s temple . ”
two decades later , in 715 ce , the umayyads built another mosque on the temple mount which they named the masjid al aqsa ( the furthest mosque ) to connote the “furthest mosque” alluded to in the quran ( 17 : 1 ) . this was the metaphorical spot from which mohammed was said to have ascended to heaven in a vision ( referred to in arabic as the mi’raj ) after a night journey from mecca ( the isra ) on a winged steed named al buraq .
it was also the reason why king baldwin ii gave them quarters on the temple mount , and why they kept so few members for the first nine years - so that it would be easier to protect the secret . the suggestion seems to be that the conspiracy officially began in 1104 , during a meeting between the count of champagne and a number of nobles from the brienne , chaumont , and joinville families , as well as the
liege lord
of andre de montbard .
i know of muslim and christian holy sites in [ jerusalem ] . i don’t know of any jewish holy sites in it… israel has been excavating since 1967 in search of remains of their temple or their fictitious jewish history .
during jordan’s 19 - year occupation of eastern jerusalem ( 1948 - 1967 ) , jewish holy places were desecrated , vandalized and destroyed . jews were denied access to their holy sites ( including the western wall and temple mount area ) in violation of article 8 of the 1949 israeli - jordanian armistice agreement . christian churches were prohibited from buying property in jerusalem and christian religious organizations were restricted from owning property near holy places . ( for more details see : backgrounder : history of jerusalem )
mt 9 / 920b board of trade marine department correspondence - highlights include an account of a letter written by the ss californian ' s carpenter saying that the
californian did not render help to titanic although distress signals were observed .
board of trade regulations and scale of provision of lifeboats and life - saving appliances for emigrant ships .
anyone who wants to forget the past [ the israelis ] cannot come and claim that the [ jewish ] temple is situated beneath the haram . they demand that we forget what happened 50 years ago to the refugees – and i speak as a living , breathing refugee – while at the same time they claim that 2000 years ago they had a temple . i challenge the assertion that this is so [ that there has ever been a jewish temple } . but even if it is so , we do not accept it , because it is not logical for someone who wants a practical peace . ( kul al - arab ( israel ) , august 25 , 2000 ; translation : memri )
in the languedoc , temple officials were more frequently cathar than catholic
, and ,
the grand master at the time . . . declared there was in fact only one true crusade - the crusade against the saracens .
in 2004 , the mughrabi ramp — leading from the western wall plaza to the mughrabi gate ( built over an ancient temple gate , and the only one from which non - muslims are permitted to enter the temple mount ) — partially collapsed during a storm . after extensive deliberations , israel’s antiquities authority decided to build a temporary bridge , remove the ramp in a careful salvage excavation and replace it with a new access route . the temporary bridge was built at the end of 2005 , and after an additional year of deliberations , the permit for the new construction was finally issued . the guidelines for the construction of the new bridge required that special care and attention be given not to harm religious sensitivities , the holy places , or other religious interests .
for the last several hundred years , jews have prayed at herod’s western wall because it was the closest accessible place to judaism’s holiest site . according to jewish tradition , the third and final temple will be rebuilt with the coming of the messiah .
other palestinian political leaders have followed suit . for example , nabil sha’ath of the palestinian legislative council and senior advisor to president mahmoud abbas who previously was chief negotiator in israeli - palestinian talks labels the jewish temple as “fictitious . ” he said :
archeologists claimed that important artifacts from the first and second temples were found in this rubble , and in 2004 , a project to sift the dumped material was initiated . funded by the city of david foundation and directed by professor gabriel barkai and tzachi zweig , archeologists and volunteers have uncovered thousands of rare and important artifacts from the first and second temple periods , as well as from roman , byzantine , ottoman and early arab periods , among them a rare bulla dating from the first temple period .
since 1967 , there has been a growing attempt by palestinians to marshal the religious fervor of the arab and muslim world in order to wrest jerusalem from israeli control . as historian dr . yitzhak reiter documented in a 2005 study entitled “ from jerusalem to mecca and back : the islamic consolidation of jerusalem , ” their campaign involves denying the jewish connection to jerusalem and the temple mount while advancing jerusalem and particularly the al - aqsa compound’s sacredness in contemporary islam . it also involves reinventing history to create an arab connection to jerusalem predating the jewish one .

delomys dorsalis occurs in forest in cool climates including lowlands and highlands in south and from 600 to 2 , 400 m in north ( costa , geise , and vieira pers . comm . ) . this species occurs in wet tropical and subtropical forests ( cademartori et al . 2005 ) . bonvicino and geise ( 1995 ) found this species in mountain scrub montane forest habitats at 1 , 750 m elevation and above .
number of recognized species given as four ( moojen , 1952 ) , three ( bonvicino and geise , 1995 ; reig , 1986 ) , two ( ellerman , 1941 ; gyldenstolpe , 1932 ; hershkovitz , 1998 ; voss , 1993 ) , or one ( cabrera , 1961 ; corbet and hill , 1991 ; honacki et al . , 1982 ) . the three recognized here integrates the revision of voss ( 1993 ) and karyological results of zanchin et al . ( 1992 b ) and bonvicino et al . ( 1995 ) . avila - pires ( 1960 c ) associated calomys plebejus winge , 1887 , as another form of delomys ; voss ( 1993 ) accepted the generic assignment but regarded plebejus as a nomen dubium , considering its equivalence to any of the living species as indeterminate .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
justification : this species is listed as least concern in view of its wide distribution , presumed large population , and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category . found in wide range and is locally abundant . some pressure through habitat fragmentation but no immediate concern .
this species occurs in the atlantic forest region of southeastern brazil ( minas gerais and espírito santo to rio grande do sul states ) and northeastern argentina ( misiones province ) ( musser and carleton 2005 ) .
this rodent is locally abundant ( costa , geise , and vieira pers . comm . ) .
this errata assessment has been created because the map was accidentally left out of the version published previously .
( errata version published in 2017 ) . the iucn red list of threatened species 2016 : e . t6329a115081166 .
to make use of this information , please check the < terms of use > .
this rodent was formally considered to be a synonym of d . dorsalis , it was recognized as a species in 1995 .
justification : this species is listed as least concern . although it is restricted to middle and high altitudinal ranges , it occurs mainly in protected areas and has a presumed large population . through karyotyping studies , its extent of occurrence may well prove to be larger than is presently known . furthermore , it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category .
this species occurs in east minas gerais , espírito santo and rio de janeiro states , southeastern brazil ( musser and carleton 2005 ) .
this rodent is known from three point localities ( caparao , itatiaia , and serra dos orgãos ) ; it is difficult to find in the field but its population is assumed to be large as it is thought to have a range which extends as far as other species in the same genus ( l . geise pers . comm . ) .
this species occurs in middle to upper elevations ( 1 , 000 - 2 , 700 m ) , in disjunct mountain ranges ( musser and carleton 2005 ) . the species has a similar habitat requirements and ecology to d . dorsalis and d . sublineatus .
the main threat to the species is habitat destruction within its range , it is also affected by fires which are common to the grasslands which it inhabits ( l . geise pers . comm . ) .
this species occurs in three protected areas : caparao , itatiaia , and serra dos orgãos national parks .

comments : voss ( 1993 ) noted the usual absence of pectoral mammae in this form , but absent clear mensural differentiation , elected to retain it under d . dorsalis , perhaps as a subspecies as originally placed by thomas ( 1917c ) ; whereas , bonvicino and geise ( 1995 ) obtained different fundamental numbers from collinus samples compared with those of d . dorsalis ( 2n = 82 in both ) and recommended specific recognition . the concordance of these independent traits , and others , should be verified with larger sam . . .

the whooping motmot ( momotus subrufescens ) is a colorful near-passerine bird found in forests and woodlands of southern panama to northwestern peru .

this species and the blue-capped motmot , lesson 's motmot , trinidad motmot , amazonian motmot , and andean motmot were all considered conspecific .

the central crown is black and surrounded by a blue band .

there is a black eyemask .

the call is a low owl-like ooo-doot .

these birds often sit still , and in their dense forest habitat can be difficult to see , despite their size .

they eat small prey such as insects and lizards , and will also regularly take fruit .

like most of the coraciiformes , motmots nest in tunnels in banks , laying about three or four white eggs .

whooping motmot

the whooping motmot is the most widespread , familiar motmot of the lowlands of eastern panama and northwestern south america , where its hooting call is a familiar sound in lowlands forests . birds often perch on a favored branch , where they cock their long tail back and forth like a clock pendulum and occasionally sally after a flying insect . like many motmots , the whooping motmot has weak subterminal barbs on the central two rectrices . these barbs fall off shortly after the rectrices grow in to leave a distinctive racquet shape to the tail . the whooping motmot is similar in many respects to several other allopatric species of motmots in the

justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
although tolerant of habitat modification , the population is nevertheless suspected to be undergoing some declines owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation .

the following video provides you with the correct english pronunciation of the word
godzillognomus schrami
, to help you become a better english speaker .
being blind remipedes navigate using touch , and in some species including godzillognomus schrami , a highly developed sense of smell . and while there is debate over whether the species is a scavenger or an active predator , several of the relatives of godzillognomus schrami s are venomous , and do indeed hunt live prey . the venom is similar in chemical make - up , as that of terrestrial rattlesnakes , although other features set it apart from the venom used by more closely related terrestrial arthropods ( 3 ) .
related species - despite appearances , g . schrami , as well as the twenty three other species in the class remipedia , are crustaceans ( 1 )
godzillognomus schrami is a blind marine crustacean , which grows to just under a centimeter in length . living under a layer of sulfur rich water , they swim using the oar like limbs ( the name remipede translates to oar - foot in latin ) on each segment of their body . for some reason this arrangement of ‘legs’ rotates the remipede onto its back , and as such they swim upside - down ( 2 ) .
thanks , and it does indeed . as for godzillognomus ' s prey , it was found in the same area as small worms and shrimp so it probably eats them . currently it has no predators being the only carnivore in the lake it lives in .
well it is official ; impurest’s guide to animals is one years old today ! ! so with all my heart i say thank you to everyone who commented , critiqued , read and reviewed this series and got us this far . and while we’re no immortal jellyfish ( last week’s issue ) i hope that i can give you all another years worth of issues . and without further ado , and a little suggestion from @ ccraft , i present to you this weeks issue…
the samurai crab is a small crustacean , with a carapace width of 6cm , with visible muscle attachments to the shells , which create a series of ridges on their backs . like the majority of crustaceans samurai crabs are bentham ( bottom dwellers ) and act as opportunistic scavengers , feeding off of shellfish , dead or weakened fish and the bodies of larger animals that sink to the bottom . it was this opportunistic feeding behavior that sparked the current level of folklore that surrounds these crabs .
during the genpei war ( 1180 - 1185 ad ) , the emperor , at the time only a child , and his most loyal samurai , were attacked and defeated in the bay of dan - no - ura . years after their bodies had sunk to the bottom ; fisherman began to catch crabs with unsettling patterns on their shells , ones that resembled the masks of samurai warriors . through a phenomenon called pareodolia , a condition where the mind sees images of people or animals in unconnected objects ( 4 ) , the local people believed that the samurai spirits had been trapped in the crab’s shells and continued to watch over them from the beyond . however things are never that simple , cultural records show the crabs weren ' t overly fished in historic times , in fact the reason for these ‘masks’ at all was simple , the bigger the ridges the stronger the crab ( 5 ) .

that thing is so damn close to having
godzilla
in its name .
this was my favourite part , you can totally see how the myth came about . what a fascinating creature : d
well done ! really liked how you mentioned pareodolia , it ' s very interesting how our brains work .
yep well there isn ' t much on the samurai crab besides the folklore . it was a challenge to find anything else so kudos on choosing something like that
yep it really is , just wait i found cthulhu as well . . .
well the folklore is the most interesting thing about the samurai crabs . it ' s pretty cool they don ' t eat these crabs , and just throw them back into the water .
congrats on the one year ! and thanks for all your posts so far . i like learning .
yay ! crabs . . . i bet its tasty . : p and congratz on the 1 year , impurest . hope to read many more . ^ _ ^
add my congratulations to the growing list of people lauding your awesome series hitting the one year mark . i always associate cv with your lessons , which makes it weirdly awesome in so many ways .
seriously , can a crab look any cooler ? their markings really are incredible , very much like a samurai .
i won , and my former employers were forced to pay what i was owed .
@ ms - lola : thanks , who knew so many people were reading ? i think you mean upside down oriented marine life if you are referring to the sea swallow way back in october ( ? ) . and it looks like you fell for the crabs crypt markings . hmm wonder what you ' ll see on next weeks animal ?
yes . what the hell , i swear to you , in my mind i was thinking upside down and yet i still typed out backward . damn it .
get out ! you are officially the most bad _ ss viner . i ' m not kidding .
congrats on keeping this up for a whole year , that takes some dedication .
@ ms - lola : well as a kid i lived all over the world so i was bound to pick up some language skills . i also speak french , spanish , czech and gallic too .
another happy first year ! feels like ages since i read your first article .
thanks for the comment , and perhaps it was , time moves in mysterious ways .
