Meteorologist [[Ernest Martin]] argues that the Temple was not on the Temple Mount at all, but rather in the [[City of David]], which is located in a valley just south of the Temple Mount.<ref>"[https://yrm.org/lost-temple-mount-found-pt1/ The Lost Temple Mount Found]"</ref> This theory ignores numerous Bible verses that specify that the Temple was on a mountaintop. For example, 2 Chronicles refers to, "the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem,"<ref>{{bibleverse|2|Chronicles|33:15|ESV}}</ref> while Micah says, "It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it."<ref>{{bibleverse||Micah|4:1|ESV}}</ref>

The dispute is not only about archeology and religion, but also politics. While the central location theory upholds rabbinic orthodoxy, Kaufman, Sagiv, and Martin want to rebuild the Temple and have selected locations where this might be possible.
