Footnote 3 – Warren’s Shaft

Captain Montague B. Parker hoped to find a tunnel leading underground to the treasures of Solomon’s Temple, supposedly buried in a cave beneath the Temple Mount. The mission ended when Jerusalem’s Muslims rioted upon learning of this foolish scheme and finding Parker excavating beneath the Dome of the Rock. See Neil Asher Silberman, “In Search of Solomon’s Lost Treasures,” BAR 06:04.
