When we come back from viewing 106 versions of the Lord's Prayer, Sol still lolls on the stone bench, but he points across at the Suleiman wall.
"See the cemetery at the foot of the wall. It is the most expensive graveyard in the world. You can buy maybe the Trump Tower in New York, maybe a small country, for what it is costing to be buried there."
"Why is it so expensive?" Elizabeth is trying to find it in her book.
"When the Messiah comes at the End of Days and enters the Temple through that Golden Gate-See, that one that is blocked now-the stones will fall away, and the wealthy buried in that cemetery will be first to follow the Messiah on the Day of Redemption."
Rory opens his mouth, but before he can mention the Christian version of the Messiah, Elizabeth indicates the Temple Mount and asks, "Is the dome really gold?"
"It is the new layer of solid gold. Forty kilos of fourteen karat, put on by Saddam Hussein. But the Jerusalem weather is not good for the fourteen karat roofs. See how the dome already shows blotchy."
He stands up and dismisses the view. "Now we go see the Basilica of the Agony and the rock where Jesus is sweating blood and is betrayed by Judas. It is on your tour."
