'''Northern location.''' According to the "northern location" theory of Dr. Asher Kaufman, the Temple was north of the Dome, with the Holy of Holies located at what is now the Shrine of the Spirits. A review in ''Biblical Archaeological Review'' complained that Kaufman's "reconstruction of the Inner and Outer Courts of the Temple [are] geographically and physically untenable."<ref>Schwartz, Joshua, "[https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/reviews/the-temple-mount/ The Temple Mount: Where Is the Holy of Holies?]," ''Bible History Daily,'' January 11, 2012.</ref>

'''Southern location.''' Tuvia Sagiv has proposed a "southern location" theory that places the Holy of Holies at the site of Al Kas fountain, south of the Dome. Tuvia suggests that Hadrian's Jerusalem temple followed the plan another temple built by Hadrian in Baalbek, Lebanon. The Dome corresponds to the hexagonal forecourt of the classical temple.<ref>''[http://templemount.org/ The Temple Mount in Jerusalem]''</ref>

Unlike the forecourt in Baalbek, the Dome in Jerusalem is an octogon. The Byzantine Church of Mary's Rock in Jerusalem has been suggested as an inspiration for this unusual shape.
