Another photo of the Dome of the Rock in disrepair in the 1890s

Recently, Chatham University put online over a hundred lantern slides, hand colored, of scenes in the Middle East. Some have been shown on the Israel Daily Picture site.

Here is a photo of the Dome of the Rock from the 1890s:

As I've shown before, it is practically abandoned and overgrown with weeds. The fountain in the foreground is dry and damaged.

I once made a video showing a few of these photos of weeds across the area that is supposedly so sacred and used for pilgrimage:



But last year I found something even more damning - incontrovertible proof that Muslims only care about their "holy places" in Jerusalem when Jews are in control.

This photo and video shows how the same Dome of the Rock looked in the 1950s, under Jordanian rule. And it looks pretty much the same as it did in the 1890s. If anything, the Dome is in worse shape.
