Exhibit 43a- North Wall Area. Of all the walls of
Har HaBayis, we know the least about the Northern Temple Wall. This is due
to the fact that many schools, churches, and homes are built against it.
This is a drawing made of the Northern Wall area from inside the Temple
Mount.

Exhibit 43f- The Northern Wall. The photo was taken outside the
Northern Wall. Notice the Herodian margins carved onto the stones. These stones
have mortar between the blocks. In the actual Herodian Walls mortar was not
used. The weight of the stones held themselves in place. We can conclude that
these stones were probably from a part of the Northern Wall that was destroyed
but later cemented back into the wall.
