The Origins of Islam - 7.1 Before the Dome of the Rock

REFERENCES IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW

In this video, we are briefly looking at the history of the Temple Mount before the Dome of the Rock. It may be surprising to some that not a single source mentions the Rock at the centre of the Temple platform before the 4th century AD.

The "Origin of Islam" series is intended to provide a big-picture look at how Islam started, where it came from, how it evolved and how we ended up with the religion we know of today. I'm introducing the historical critical method as it's applied to the Quran and paint a new narrative based on primary evidence and linguistic analysis.
