Al Aqsa
From WikiIslam
The Al Aqsa mosque (Jerusalem/Israel) was build on the roof of the Christian St. Mary basilica on the Temple Mount where previously the Jewish Temple stood, which was destroyed by the romans in 70 AC.
Analysis of wooden beams and panels removed from the building during renovations in the 1930s shows they are made from Cedar of Lebanon and Cyprus. Radiocarbon dating indicates a large range of ages, some as old as 9th century BC, showing that some of the wood had previously been used in older buildings.[1]
