Leen Ritmeyer (b. 1945[1]) is a Dutch-born archaeologicalarchitect who currently lives and works in Wales, after having spent 22 years (1967–89) in Jerusalem.
In Gershom Gorenberg's words, "[w]hen archeologists speak today of solid scientific research on the Temple's location, they’re most likely to refer to Leen Ritmeyer", referring to his work on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.[3] He presented solid arguments based on archaeological evidence collected over at least a century of research for the location of Solomon's Temple, the emplacement of the Ark of the Covenant on the Foundation Stone,[4] and the location of the platform as extended in the First Temple period, probably during the time of Hezekiah described as a square of 500 cubits in MishnahMiddot 2.1.[clarification needed] He has demonstrated that one of the steps leading to the Dome of the Rock is actually the top of a remaining stone course of the pre-HerodianWestern Wall of the Temple Mount platform.[3]
