===Dome of the Rock===
The traditional view is that the Holy of Holies was located at what in now the Dome of the Rock. In the Mishna, which consists of writing by later rabbis, this stone the called the "foundation stone" and is connected with the temple and to various other things. The foundation stone is used in Isaiah and Psalms as a metaphor for God's convenant with Israel.<ref>Isaiah 28:16, Psalm 118:22.</ref> Thus there is no Biblical basis to connect it to a physical stone.

The earliest report that indicates that is site was sacred to Jews is from Bordeaux Pilgrim, who visited Jerusalem around 333. This was soon after Constantine destroyed the Temple of Jupiter that Hadrian built. "There are two status of Hadrian; not far from the statues is a pierced stone to the Jews comes every year and they anoint it and they lament with a groan and they tear their garments and then they withdraw."<ref>[http://andrewjacobs.org/translations/bordeaux.html The Bordeaux Pilgrim (c. 333 C.E.)
Translation by Andrew S. Jacobs]</ref> Certainly the pilgrim does not connect this site to the temple.
