that is simply where the footing of a loom or similar weaving machine was placed to prevent it from moving during all banging and slaming required for a tight weave.

They look like pyramids with a spot for the all-seeing eye on top.

If you want to know the meanings of the markings I know of two sources that you can go to to find out. 1 the stone tablets found at Ebla and 2 contact the LDS archeological department at BYU.

what is rather interesting is the fact the site was under "previous fortifications", as per the sign, they could be simple directional arrows... the temple of salomon was built from Ophel mount down the gihon springs, romans destroyed the teple and removed its foundations (josephus )

Two symbols facing one. Looks like markings indicating where to stand for some sort of ceremony. And since the two side by side are different, it could be interpreted in many ways.

I have seen these symbols for the last 10 years. As a member of the LDS Church (Mormon), I wear these symbols daily on my undergarments. The LDS church uses these three symbols since the beginning of the church and they are very important symbolically in the numerous temples found around the world. So, these symbols, exactly arranged the same way on my garments, is nothing new to me. These symbols were obviously important because they are found at an ancient Jewish temple sight.

Look again! Don't these markings look very much like those over the so called Jesus tomb. The Chevron sign has always posed a problem, they often mean male and female. Astarte was often shown with the Chevron over her groin. There appears to be things going on here that do not fit the standard theology.
