Because we were a few dozen feet below the Temple platform

Because we were a few dozen feet below the Temple platform, for an arc (it is also called "the gates of Warren in honor of nineteenth-century explorer, who explored and mapped the different cavity under the platform Temple) was to be a staircase leading upwards. Specialists, the reconstruction of the Second Temple on the descriptions contained in the Bible, believe that in the northern part of the western gate of the wall should be similar to the south, the so-called "gate of Berkeley." Indeed, Warren pointed to the existence of the caves, secret proceedings connected with a gate (Fig. 140); if the gates were similar to the south, they were in the secret passage to the Temple. 
What is behind those gates, prorublennymi in the wall immediately to the giant "mainly near? For political and religious reasons, "Gates Warren" had not been opened, but a study using radar and other devices make it possible to conclude that they have a blank space. If this is the northern twin "Barkley gate, then they quite possibly is the same L-shaped secret move, turning at right angles and leading to one of the internal courtyards Temple. Or maybe this is the entrance to the gallery, which immediately turns to the south to the room behind the giant stone blocks, but does not go first to the east (as the passage of the "gates of Berkeley" over 84 feet) in order to make the turn at right angles? This intriguing question will remain unanswered until the change of political and religious situation in the region. 
What is the age of the gates and inside the church? Most archaeologists date them, as well as four of the remaining gates in the west wall (see Fig. 140), the era of Herod the king. However, in some cases, such as the "arc of Wilson, there is reason to believe that architects and builders of Herod used the older elements. In this case, could not there zamurovannye gates remain in the tunnel since the First Temple?
