  Temple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temple of Hephaestus, an ancient Greek Doric temple in Athens with the original entrance facing east, 449 BCE [western face depicted].
The majority of the main temples, along the major religions, are aligned in the cardinal directions, especially in an east-west axis which symbolically represents the sun's path, the "donor of life".
The First Temple was built in the 10th century BCE under King Solomon to replace the Tabernacle and was destroyed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BCE, marking the beginning of the Babylonian exile.
