Every year, hundreds of thousands of people of all faiths flock to Mount Moriah, also known as the Temple Mount, in the Old City of Jerusalem. Although other religions claim a strong spiritual link to Mount Moriah, it is the Jewish people who hold the most powerful and longest-standing connection to this holy place.

Biblical sources claim that Mount Moriah is the very spot from which G-d sparked the creation of the world and the place where Abraham brought his son Isaac as a sacrifice to G-d. It is also the site where the two Jewish Temples, the supreme and most exalted centers of Jewish worship, once stood.

Every conqueror has tried to capture this holy ground in Jerusalem and claim it to be theirs. They ruled it for a short time and disappeared forever. What is the secret that lies 25 meters below the present day surface? What is the story behind this holy place that will not rest until it's in Jewish hands? The documentary, The ARK Report The Quest of All Time explores this story.
