I just don't see enough compelling evidence to believe it as truth. Since you're using the word proof and all.
In fact, in constructing the Temple, it was a commandment that no IRON or metal be used in the cutting of the stones so as not to introduce the energy of severity which war is derived from.

Proof is the Jewish people themselves. Proof is their return to the Land. Proof is their surviving everything that's been thrown at them for 5,000 years. Proof is God watching over the Land of Israel and His Children. For all Time. You can't *see* this without a heart of flesh. A heart of jaded stone will not cut it.

They found an ancient coin and straight away its don't trust the Israelis, they're liars etc.
Wake up guys, not everyone has an agenda and there is good and bad in every race.
I will give the OP a star.

So I can't see that proof until I am Jewish?
Why then are you surprised when people dismiss this proof that are not Jewish when you accept we can't even see it?
I don't see proof. I would say my heart is of jaded stone though, but I don't think we would have it mean the same

Not looking to derail or anything but you are not correct here. The temple stones were not "dressed" at the temple it makes no statement that you cant use iron at the quarry. You possibly are confusing this with the direction by god to not use tools on an alter.
On topic...It is a cool find along with the other things listed in the link.

Sounds like a good bit of solid proof that the Robinson Arch area was not part of the temple, as those that certified purity of a document had to be well outside the temple and in some nice shady area like under Robinson Arch, which was an entrance to Ft. Antonia.
It appears you have good evidence that the dig area were they are putting up a new entrance way was not part of the temple area.
But half the deal in Israel is about who has ancestral rights to this faked up temple mount area that was actually the Roman Fort Antonia area. So finding this seal is being used to attempt to put forth that the Jewish temple, via this seal, located on this Fort Antonia area where the Dome of the Rock and the Mosque now sit. So there are some games of political advantage being used with the find to attempt to tell the Ft. Antonia was the temple mount and the Islam should not be there.
The most confounding issue for this false assertion of the Ft. Antonia being the mount area is the area looks like many other Roman forts complete with water cisterns that had to be put to the south because of so much rock in the northern part of the fort. That the Templars used the cisterns as stables tells pretty much that the Templars were not convinced of the need for purity of temple standards, as it was Fort Antonia.

No metal implements or instruments were used in the CUTTING of the stones. A shamir worm that is able to split the stones was used in the place of tool

This is not debatable. It is just a matter of time till the Ark of the Covenant is also found there. Then all the world will know. In the meantime, because everyone loves these facts so much - here is some about Mount Moriah - the Foundation Stone and why it was chosen as God's place for HIs Temple - en.wikipedia.org...
Ezekiel 5:5 Thus says the Lord 1God, ‘This is Jerusalem; I have set her at the center of the nations, with lands around her.

I have read most of the issues for why David picked putting the Ark near the Gihon Spring and that wins out over your misplaced theme that the temple was in the middle of the Fort Antonia of the Romans.
All the real data lines up for the Gihon Spring being much more important than this rock.
It appears someone named Ron Wyatt spotted a hiding place that was off the Solomon's quarry area, where he contends he found the ark and some golden tables. So, it is time to dig up the ark, which was likely hidden just before the Babylon invastion and even the tombs of David and Solomon moved to other cave areas to hide their wealth from Babylon.
All the accounts from the old days have the Fort Antonia being as large as the City in the times of Herod, and the only way to do that is all this remaining walled area that the misplaced Jerusalem folks term the temple mount is really Fort Antonia.
So, it is this that tells the world that not only has Jerusalem misplaced gods house, but indeed lost the orginal address.
Most all the read the old history don't find your theme for the Foundation Stone being connected with the Solomon temple, or Herod's temple. Such claims are myth and depart from truth.

I am aware of the shamir story but every passage I can find only refers to the alter not the temple when it comes to the construction and the ban of tools. If you could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
