Photoreal cinematic film still, vertical 9:16, golden sunset, 1st century AD. Seen from the Mount of Olives looking west across the Kidron valley at Jerusalem, exactly like the Holyland Model of Jerusalem in the Second Temple period. The Temple Mount: an enormous flat rectangular platform raised on sheer walls of huge cream limestone blocks; along all its edges run long, low, flat-roofed covered colonnades (stoas). In its centre stands Herod's sanctuary: a single tall, massive, box-shaped building of white limestone, taller than it is wide, its front a flat square facade with a huge tall dark doorway framed in gold and a row of gold plates and small golden spikes along the flat roofline, catching the sun; inner courts with walls and gates around it. Beyond and around: the walled city of Jerusalem, dense flat-roofed limestone houses climbing the hills, stone city walls and square towers. In the foreground on the hillside among old olive trees: a man in a cream-white wool robe with the HOOD UP sits on a rock seen ONLY from behind (hood and shoulders, no face), and four bearded disciples in brown robes sit facing Him, listening. Warm dust haze. NOT Greek: no triangular pediment, no gable roof, no Parthenon, no round columns on the sanctuary, no dome of any kind, no golden dome, no minarets. No text.
