What Is Buried Beneath Jerusalem? The Lost Secrets of Solomon, the Templars, and the Anunnaki

Jerusalem is more than just an ancient city—it’s a living crossroads of secrets, mysteries, and hidden truths buried beneath centuries of stone. In this video, we journey deep into the legends of Solomon’s Temple, exploring not only its historical significance but the enigmatic technologies and forbidden wisdom that may have shaped its construction.From the legendary Shamir—a mystical object powerful enough to shape stone silently—to the tale of Azazel, the fallen angel imprisoned beneath the foundations of the city, we unravel threads that connect biblical stories to older, more mysterious traditions. Were Solomon’s secrets rooted in esoteric wisdom passed down from the ancient Anunnaki themselves?We also uncover the truth about the Knights Templar, who spent decades secretly excavating beneath Temple Mount. Did they seek the lost relics of Solomon, hidden texts, or perhaps evidence of a deeper reality—an ancient legacy that could rewrite our understanding of humanity’s past?Join us as we piece together Jerusalem’s forgotten history, revealing why Solomon’s Temple, the Templar excavations, and the Anunnaki connection continue to fascinate historians, mystics, and seekers of truth. The answers may be buried deep, but Jerusalem still whispers to those who dare to listen.

Episode Transcript

(00:19):
The year is 1177 AD. The sands of the Holy Land were
dry, the air heavy with the scent of war.
On one side, Saladin, Sultan of Egypt and his army of 40,000
strong, an unstoppable wave rolling across the desert.
On the other, a sickly 16 year old boy, King Baldwin, the 4th

(00:42):
King of Jerusalem, his body wasting away from leprosy, his
soldiers outnumbered 12:50. Jerusalem seemed certain to
fall. But what happened next defied
logic, a miracle, some claimed. Baldwin, barely strong enough to
ride, led his men directly into the heart of Saladin's forces,

(01:07):
the Knights Templars in stride beside him, their Crimson
crosses cutting through the dustlike blood on stone.
Against impossible odds, Baldwin's forces shattered
Saladin's army, driving them back across the desert in a
victory no chronicler could explain.
But was it really just strategy,or something else?

(01:29):
Some say Baldwin knew something Saladin didn't, that his Templar
Knights had found something beneath the city, something
ancient, something powerful. Legends whisper that the
Templars, in their secret excavations beneath the Temple
Mount, had unearthed something forbidden, the remnants of a
forgotten force, a power some believed was imprisoned beneath

(01:53):
Jerusalem itself. In the Book of Enoch, the fallen
being Azazel, corrupted mankind with the secrets of war, metal,
and magic. For this crime, Azazel was
bound, chained beneath the earth, buried, some say, beneath
the sacred stones of Jerusalem. Could it be that the Templars

(02:14):
found this forgotten prison? That Baldwin's victory was no
miracle, but the result of something far more dangerous?
Perhaps an ancient relic, a key of power, something like the Ark
of the Covenant, or perhaps something even older?
Jerusalem is a city of secrets. The stones bear the weight of

(02:35):
countless generations. And beneath those stones, the
whispers of something far older still linger, something that men
have sought to control and others have fought to keep
buried. Jerusalem, a city carved from

(03:28):
stone, soaked in blood and tangled in legend.
It's story is a battlefield of myths, a whisper of forgotten
gods, and a shadow that stretches back to the first
cities ever built. To grasp Jerusalem's true
nature, we must go beyond empires and kings, back to the
Sumerians. The Sumerians, some of the

(03:50):
earliest civilizations, believedtheir gods, the Anunnaki, came
down to earth to impose order. Their power was strongest in
cities like ER, the legendary birthplace of Abraham, the
figure regarded as the first Hebrew.
Abraham's journey from ER to theland that would become Israel

(04:10):
forms a bridge between Sumerian belief and early Hebrew
tradition. Some speculate that figures like
Enlil or Marduk, powerful Anunnaki deities, may echo in
the early Hebrew concept of a singular, commanding God.
While the Sumerians are remembered for their written
records, we can only imagine what older stories were lost,

(04:34):
tales that may have once blurredthe lines between Sumerian gods
and the origins of Jerusalem's spiritual power.
By the time the Canaanites claimed the land, Jerusalem was
a power center known as URU Shalim.
The city was dedicated to Shalim, a Canaanite God of
twilight, a fitting name for a city trapped between the seen

(04:56):
and unseen. Archaeological traces point to a
place of ancient altars and highplaces where merchants, Mystics
and warriors converged. An ancient Ugaritic myth known
as the Gracious and Most Beautiful Gods tells of Shalim
and his brother Shahar, twin offspring of the high God El.
According to the myth, El encounters two women at the

(05:19):
seashore, and from this union Shalim and Shahar are born.
The brothers are nursed by the lady, believed to be the goddess
Ashura, who raises them with a hunger said to stretch from one
lip to the earth and one lip to the heavens, one tied to the
twilight, the other to the breakof dawn.

(05:40):
Even before the Israelites arrived, Jerusalem was marked by
celestial alignments. The Temple Mount's eastern gate
was positioned to face the rising sun during the equinoxes,
while the Western Wall faced westward, symbolizing twilight
and reflection. The Mount of Olives east of the
city was likely a key observation point for tracking

(06:02):
the new moon. Under King David, Jerusalem fell
and was crowned as the kingdom'scapital.
But it was Solomon who gave the city its ultimate symbol, the
First Temple, a sanctuary built to house the Ark of the
Covenant. The Ark sat upon the foundation
stone, believed to be the navel of the world, the very point

(06:23):
where God shaped creation itself.
For the Israelites, this was their spiritual heart, a cosmic
anchor where heaven met earth. But glory is fleeting.
In 586 BC, Babylon's war machine, led by Nebuchadnezzar
the Second, thundered through the city, shattering walls and

(06:44):
reducing the temple to dust. The Ark was lost, vanished into
legend, yet Jerusalem refused todie.
The returning exiles built a second temple under Persian
rule, and the city's heartbeat resumed.
Then came the Greeks, and after them the Romans.
Under Herod the Great. The second Temple rose again,

(07:06):
grander, bolder, a marvel of theancient world.
But power provokes envy, and by 70 AD, the Romans crushed a
Jewish uprising, reducing the Second Temple to ash.
Only one fragment remained, the Western Wall, a scar on the
city's face that still stands today.

(07:28):
As Christianity spread, Jerusalem became a city of
prophecy, the stage for the end of days.
Constantine the Great raised theChurch of the Holy Sepulchre,
enshrining the spot where Jesus was crucified and buried.
Pilgrims flocked to the city, seeking salvation.
And yet Jerusalem's blood price would rise again.

(07:52):
In 638 AD, Muslim forces swept in under Caliph Umar, seizing
the city without a fight. But rather than erase
Jerusalem's past, they enshrinedit, building the majestic Dome
of the Rock atop the Temple Mount, directly above the
Foundation Stone. The Dome of the Rock itself is

(08:13):
no ordinary structure. Built in 691 AD by the Umayyad
Caliph Abd al Malik, it was never intended to be a mosque,
rather a shrine, a marker of something older than Islam,
older than Christianity, older than Judaism.
The Foundation Stone at its heart is one reason this place

(08:35):
has become the most contested patch of Earth on the planet.
For the ancient Hebrews, this stone was known as the even
Hashetia, the Foundation Stone, the axis on which creation
began. They believed this was the very
spot where God breathed life into the universe, the cosmic
blueprint for existence itself. Here stood the Holy of Holies,

(09:00):
the innermost sanctum of the First and Second Temples, where
only the High Priest could enter, and only on the holiest
day of the year. Some say this stone was also the
site of Abraham's greatest test,the place where God commanded
him to sacrifice his son Isaac. Jewish tradition holds that the

(09:20):
foundation stone is the very peak of Mount Moriah, the site
of this fateful encounter, a moment of ultimate faith, divine
intervention, and the sealing ofa covenant that shaped the
destiny of nations. Jewish Mystics claim the stone
was no ordinary rock. It was a seal, a capstone placed

(09:41):
by God to contain the churning abyss below.
They believed that without this stone, chaotic forces would rise
waters of destruction, demonic spirits, or worse.
It was a lock on Pandora's box. In Islam, the stone is the
launchpad for the Prophet Muhammad's night journey.

(10:02):
Here Muhammad was carried skyward on the mythical steed Al
Barack, ascending through the seven heavens to meet with
Allah. For Christians, it was on this
ground where Jesus challenged the corruption of the
priesthood, where he overturned the tables of the money
changers. Some even say that this rock's
shadow reaches to Golgotha, the site of his crucifixion, as if

(10:25):
Jerusalem itself were destined to cradle both the cross and the
cornerstone of creation. The stone has been coveted by
kings and conquerors alike, not merely for what it represents,
but perhaps for what it holds. The question is, what if it
truly is the key to creation or destruction?

(11:02):
Solomon's Temple, The site itself tells part of the story.
Mount Moriah wasn't just chosen because of Abraham's sacrifice.
Ancient cultures built sacred platforms on high ground, places
where heaven and earth were believed to meet.
The Sumerians had a word for this Duran Ki, a bond between

(11:25):
realms. Mount Moriah may have been one
of those points, a place seen aspowerful long before David
claimed it. The temple's design pulls
heavily from that older world. The cherubim, often imagined as
angelic guardians, are nearly identical to the Lamassu, hybrid
beings that guarded Assyrian andBabylonian cities.

(11:47):
They had human faces, animal bodies, and wings.
In Mesopotamian belief, these figures weren't just symbolic.
They were tied to the anunnaki, powerful beings said to control
access to divine knowledge. The fact that cherubim appear
everywhere in Solomon's temple, carved into walls, woven into

(12:08):
the temple veil, even guarding the Holy of Holies, suggests
that idea didn't disappear. The Israelites may not have
called it Anunnaki worship, but the pattern stayed the same.
The temple's altar, built with four prominent horns, carries
that same weight. In Sumerian art, the gods wore

(12:28):
horned crowns to show their power.
The more horns, the greater their status.
The horns on Solomon's altar mayhave been more than just
decorative. They echo that same visual
language, a connection back to the symbols of divine authority
used by the Anunnaki. Then there's the Brazen Sea, a
huge bronze basin resting on thebacks of 12 oxen.

(12:52):
It's often explained as a purification tool, but there's
more to it. In Mesopotamian belief, the abzu
was a sacred body of water, a place tied to creation, wisdom
and the God Enki. Temples in summer often included
a symbolic pool to represent that cosmic wellspring.

(13:12):
Solomon's brazen sea looks like the same idea, a link to
forgotten ideas about power and knowledge.
Even the Holy of Holies, a cube shaped room at the heart of the
temple, fits this older pattern.Mesopotamian temples had an
inner chamber, believed to be the point where divine beings
physically entered the world. Solomon's Temple seems to follow

(13:35):
that same design, A controlled space where something greater
could be called down. There's no way to look at this
and say it's all a coincidence. The temple wasn't just built to
be beautiful or practical, It was designed with older ideas in
mind. The symbols, the structure, the
layout, they all point back to the same concepts the Anunnaki

(13:57):
were believed to have introduced.
The Israelites may not have seenthemselves as continuing
Anunnaki worship, but those ideas still shaped the way they
built their holiest place. Solomon's Temple feels less like
a new beginning and more like a continuation, a reworking of
something older, something that may have started in Mesopotamia

(14:17):
and carried traces of Anunnaki influence all the way to
Jerusalem. When the Templars arrived in

(14:43):
Jerusalem in 1119, they were given quarters in the AL Aqsa
Mosque, a building that had beenrenamed the Templum Solomonus
under Christian control. To The Crusaders, this wasn't
just a convenient place to stay.They believe this was the sacred
ground where Solomon's original temple once stood.
The connection was so important that they wove Solomon's name

(15:04):
into their own identity, callingthemselves the Poor Knights of
Christ and the Temple of Solomon.
This wasn't just about symbolism.
From the moment they arrived, rumors started to spread about
what the Templars were doing inside the building.
They kept to themselves. They avoided the public.
Some saw this as typical monastic behavior, vows of

(15:26):
silence and a focus on prayer, But others believed something
else was happening. According to some accounts, the
Templars spent a great deal of time digging beneath the
structure, exploring the foundations under the Temple
Mount. Legends claim they found
something of immense value, and that whatever they unearthed
shaped their future. What they found, if anything,

(15:48):
remains a mystery. Some believe they recovered lost
relics, the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, or a fragment
of the True Cross. Others suggest they found
forgotten texts, knowledge hidden for centuries, possibly
even records tied to Solomon himself.
Solomon's name carries weight for a reason.

(16:09):
He isn't just remembered as a king, his reputation is far more
complicated. The Bible presents him as a
ruler of wisdom, wealth, and power.
But outside of Scripture, Solomon's image becomes
something else, something far stranger.
Stories describe him as a magician, an alchemist, and a
master of the spirit world. Some accounts claim he

(16:32):
controlled demons, binding them with rings and commanding them
to build his temple. Legends say he wrote a powerful
grimoire, a book that contained instructions for summoning
spirits and unlocking mystical knowledge.
The Gaudia, a 17th century text on demonology, claimed to be
based on Solomon's original writings.

(16:53):
It describes 72 spirits, entities Solomon supposedly
confined in a bronze vessel. Even respected figures like
Isaac Newton believed Solomon possessed esoteric knowledge,
insights that may have come fromcontact with powerful, unseen
forces. Solomon's temple design carried
layers of symbolism. The presence of cherubim, hybrid

(17:14):
guardians with human faces, wings, and animal features
echoes the Lamassu of Mesopotamian tradition, beings
tied directly to the Anunnaki. The Templars may have known this
if they were digging beneath Temple Mount.
Perhaps they believed Solomon's temple had preserved something
from those older traditions, something that pre dated Israel

(17:36):
itself. The idea that Solomon's
knowledge came from older sources isn't far fetched.
Stories of Solomon's wisdom, magic and alchemical mastery
point to something more than just clever ruling.
They suggest access to a deeper,hidden tradition.
In some accounts, Solomon's understanding of metallurgy,

(17:57):
geometry, and construction was said to be far ahead of his
time. Legends claim that his temple
was built using advanced techniques, stone cut so
precisely that the structure could be assembled silently
without iron tools on site. The Phoenician Craftsman who
worked on the project, particularly the mysterious
figure known as Hiram Abiff, aresometimes described in terms

(18:18):
that resemble arcane mastery, asif their skills came from some
deeper well of knowledge. The Templars may have believed
that knowledge still lay beneaththe stones of Temple Mount.
Some even suggest they found it,that they uncovered ancient
writings, instructions for rituals, or methods for
manipulating materials and energies that had been passed
down from the Annunnaki themselves.

(18:41):
When The Crusaders lost Jerusalem, Saladin ordered the
Templar structures on Temple Mount to be destroyed.
But before that, the Templars had nearly 7 decades to
excavate, study and possibly remove whatever they had found.
By the 19th century, British explorers investigating beneath
Temple Mount found evidence thatthe Templars had indeed dug

(19:04):
deep. They discovered a system of
tunnels beneath the site, precisely carved shafts that led
to hidden chambers. Among the artifacts they
recovered were Templar items, including pieces of armor, a
Lance, and even a small cross. What the Templars were searching
for, or what they may have found, remains unknown.

(19:26):
It's tempting to imagine that the Templars were driven by
religious devotion alone, but the secrecy surrounding their
time on Temple Mount suggests something more The Templars
didn't just adopt Solomon's name.
They may have believed they wereinheriting his knowledge.
If that's true, then their purpose in Jerusalem may have
been less about protecting pilgrims and more about
recovering what Solomon himself was said to possess Ancient

(19:49):
wisdom, hidden power, and the forgotten techniques that may
have reached back to the Anunnaki themselves.
The Shamir is one of the most fascinating and mysterious

(20:12):
elements tied to Solomon's Temple, a legendary substance or
tool that's said to have played a vital role in its
construction. Descriptions of the Shamir are
rare, but the details that do exist make it 1 of the strangest
pieces of the Solomon story, andone that may tie back to deeper,
more esoteric traditions. According to Talmudic tradition

(20:33):
and various Jewish texts, the Shamir was a supernatural object
used by Solomon to cut stone forthe Temple.
The mystery deepens when you consider that the Book of Kings
states that the Temple was builtwithout the sound of iron tools.
The house was built of stone prepared at the quarry, so that
neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the

(20:54):
house while it was being built. First Kings 6-7.
This is where the Shamir comes in.
The Jewish legend claims this mysterious substance had the
power to cut through stone, iron, and even diamonds, yet it
wasn't a tool in the conventional sense.
The shamir was said to be a small, living creature, possibly

(21:15):
a worm, insect, or some unknown organic entity capable of
splitting rock with precision. The shamir's origins are murky,
but it's often described as an object dating back to Moses
time, allegedly used to inscribethe 10 commandments on the stone
tablets. Later, Solomon is said to have
obtained it to cut the massive stones for his temple without

(21:38):
using iron tools, a material that was considered impure for
sacred work. Stories describe the shamir as
being so potent that it had to be stored in a metal container,
as this was the only way to contain its destructive energy.
Even touching it improperly was said to be dangerous.
Some interpretation suggests theShamir wasn't a living worm at

(22:00):
all, but rather some kind of ancient technology, a powerful
tool or substance lost to history.
The description of it as a living force may have been an
attempt to describe something that ancient writers had no
language for, Possibly a chemical reaction, a vibrational
frequency, or even a form of laser like technology.

(22:22):
Given Solomon's reputation for possessing hidden wisdom and
advanced understanding of metallurgy, geometry, and
construction, some believe the Shamir could have been an
artifact linked to those ideas. Something that might trace back
to the same esoteric traditions tied to the Anunnaki or other
ancient cultures. The fact that Solomon relied

(22:42):
heavily on Phoenician Craftsman,particularly Hiram Abiff, a
figure often associated with mystical building practices,
only strengthens the idea that advanced knowledge played a role
in the Temple's construction. The Shamir may have been part of
that. The Babylonian Talmud contains

(23:07):
one of the most detailed references to the Shamir,
connecting it to both Moses and Solomon.
The Shamir was created during the twilight of the 6th day of
creation. It could cut through any
material. When Solomon sought to build the
Temple without using iron tools,he inquired where the shamir
could be found. It was said to be in the

(23:30):
possession of the Prince of the Sea, guarded by the wild
rooster, a type of mythical birdcalled the ducifat, often
identified as the hoopoe bird. This passage describes Solomon's
quest to obtain the shamir, since iron tools were forbidden
for use in constructing the temple.

(23:50):
First Kings 6/7 Solomon sought atool that could cut stone
without metal, leading him to the legendary Shamir.
Pirke. Avot 5-6 briefly mentions the
Shamir too, placing it among tenmiraculous items created at
twilight just before the 1st Sabbath, alongside objects like

(24:13):
Moses's staff and the manna. The Shamir is presented as
something unique, not of ordinary origin.
The Midrash Tantuma Pekude 10 gives another angle.
Here the sages informed Solomon that the shamir had once been
used by Moses himself to engravethe gemstones worn by the high
priest. Solomon then sends men to

(24:36):
retrieve it from the mysterious ducophat bird, reinforcing the
idea that it was a physical object, carefully guarded and
passed down through generations.In the Targumshaini, an Aramaic
commentary on the Book of Esther, Solomon's command of the
Shamir is referenced, again emphasizing his ability to

(24:56):
silently shape the stones of theTemple without iron.
Finally, though indirectly, the Testament of Solomon, an
apocryphal text, describes Solomon's ability to command
spiritual and supernatural forces to assist in the Temple's
construction. While it doesn't explicitly name
the Shamir, the story aligns with the concept that Solomon

(25:20):
had unusual methods at his disposal, something beyond
conventional tools. Together, these texts suggest
the Shamir wasn't just legendary, but possibly a
genuine ancient artifact or technique, something known to
the builders of Solomon's templeknowledge that later became lost

(25:40):
or obscured. Could the Shamir have been a
remnant of pre flood knowledge, something passed down from the
civilizations that existed before the Great Deluge?
The temple's strange features, from the silent assembly of
stones to the precisely cut blocks, hint at techniques far

(26:04):
beyond what Iron Age builders should have been capable of.
If the Templars believed Solomon's Temple held the
secrets of the Shamir, it would explain their relentless
excavation beneath Temple Mount.The Shamir's supposed ability to
manipulate stone and metal wouldhave been invaluable not only as
a tool, but as a potential source of power.

(26:25):
Whether the Shamir was a literalobject, a forgotten technology,
or a misunderstood concept, the legend fits into the broader
idea that Solomon's wisdom wasn't entirely his own, that it
was inherited from older, hiddentraditions.
The Shamir is one of those fascinating details that's been
largely forgotten, yet it ties into so many other threads lost

(26:49):
knowledge, mysterious relics, and the idea that Solomon's
temple may have held far more than just religious
significance. If the Templars were digging for
something powerful beneath Temple Mount, the Shamir, or
whatever it truly was, may have been exactly what they were
after. Azazel first appears in the Book

(27:20):
of Enoch as a leader among the Watchers, heavenly beings who
defied the boundaries set by theCreator.
Drawn to the beauty of human women, these Watchers descended
to Earth, taking wives and fathering the legendary
Nephilim, hybrid giants whose presence on Earth sparked chaos
and violence. But it wasn't just the
intermingling with humans that angered Heaven.

(27:43):
Azazel had done something far worse.
He had shared forbidden knowledge, teaching humanity the
secrets of warfare, weaponry, metallurgy, and the crafting of
powerful magical artifacts. He showed humans how to fashion
blades, armor, and weapons of destruction, plunging mankind
into an era of bloodshed and spiritual decay.

(28:04):
For this betrayal, Azazel was singled out.
For a unique punishment. The Archangel Raphael was sent
to bind him, placing chains of fire around Azazel's hands and
feet and casting him down into eternal darkness.
Some traditions claim he was sealed deep beneath the barren
deserts east of Jerusalem, in a place described simply as a pit

(28:27):
of unending darkness. But as centuries passed, another
tradition emerged, locating Azazel's prison directly beneath
Temple Mount itself. This placement wasn't
accidental. Jerusalem was chosen
specifically to sit upon this imprisoned Angel as a spiritual
fortress, a symbolic barrier between humanity and the

(28:48):
corrupting influence of Azazel. The Temple was built not just as
a House of worship, but as a powerful seal, a holy structure
anchoring the fallen Angel beneath its sacred stones.
Like Azazel, the Anunnaki are described as heavenly beings who
taught mankind metallurgy, warfare, astrology, and secrets
that blurred the line between divine knowledge and dangerous

(29:10):
sorcery. Both narratives describe beings
who gave humanity power they weren't ready to wield, causing
conflict, destruction, and suffering.
Could Azazel and the Watchers bethe Hebrew reflection of older
Mesopotamian stories? Is Azazel himself connected to
the Anunnaki, perhaps even one of them, or descended from the

(29:30):
same line of mysterious visitorswho arrived long ago, reshaping
human destiny? When the Knights Templar dug
beneath Temple Mount centuries later, perhaps they weren't just
searching for holy relics or lost treasures.
Perhaps they sought the prison of Azazel, or knowledge of its
true nature, an ancient secret linking Solomon's Temple, fallen

(29:52):
angels, and the forgotten legacyof the Anunnaki themselves.
From the moment King David choseMount Moriah as the site for
Solomon's Temple, Jerusalem became a gateway, a sacred place

(30:14):
where the lines between heaven and earth blurred.
Centuries later, when the Knights Templar arrived in
Jerusalem, they too sensed that something powerful lay beneath
the city. For decades, they excavated deep
beneath Temple Mount, searching for relics, lost manuscripts, or
perhaps even traces of ancient technologies once known to

(30:35):
Solomon and those who came before him.
We still wonder what exactly they discovered, or how it may
have changed them forever. What binds all these stories
together? The Temple, Solomon's secret
wisdom, the fallen Angel imprisoned beneath Jerusalem is
the pursuit of hidden truths. Jerusalem is unique precisely

(30:58):
because it sits at the crossroads of history and myth,
a city built upon secret foundations of ancient wisdom,
spiritual power, and forgotten beings whose true origins remain
lost in shadow. In the end, perhaps Jerusalem's
greatest secret is that it's story is still unfinished.
Beneath its stones may yet lie undiscovered, truths waiting

(31:19):
quietly for those bold enough toask questions, to dig deeper,
look further and seek the hiddenthreads linking Solomon, the
Templars, fallen angels, and themysterious Anunnaki.
Because this is more than just history.
It's an invitation to search forthe truths humanity may have
forgotten, or truths we may not yet be ready to remember.

(32:11):
The.
