The Second Temple in Jerusalem

This is a continuation of an earlier post that discussed the size and people-capacity of the Temple Mount.  This post will be just a collection of links to interesting pictures and videos about the Second Temple that are available on the Internet.

A virtual tour of the model of Jerusalem at The Israel Museum of Jerusalem is available here.  Click on "English" and then "Walk Around" and "Zoom In" to explore the site.

A photograph of the same model of the temple is available here.
 
A set of visualizations of the temple court are available here.

A computer animation of the temple is available here.  (Try downloading it.)

A high-resolution collage from the previous site is available here.

Some video tours of the Temple Mount are can be downloaded from here (Part 1), here (Part 2) and here (Part 3).  (The lengthy dialogue is from a Jewish/temple-reconstruction-advocate perspective.   It gives a good visual sense of the size of the place.  Each video is about 1/2 hour long.)
