Original Note:
Proposed note misleadingly confuses the reader to believe that a lack of archaeological evidence for the 1st Temple means that no Jewish Temple pre-existed Palestine. Aside from other evidence, the 2nd Temple’s massive extant Western Wall contradicts this. https://www.livescience.com/elevator-western-wall-reveals-archaeology https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-is-beneath-the-temple-mount-920764/ https://history.vcu.edu/news/newsroom/history-news/uncovering-herodian-archaeology-the-temple-mount-and-the-holy-city.html
