Artist 's interpretation of the First Temple in Jerusalem According to the Hebrew Bible , Solomon 's Temple , also known as the First Temple , was the Holy Temple ( Hebrew : בֵּית ־ הַמִּקְדָּשׁ  : Beit HaMikdash ) in ancient Jerusalem before its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar II after the Siege of Jerusalem of 587 BCE and its subsequent replacement with the Second Temple in the 6th century BCE . The Hebrew Bible states that the temple was constructed under Solomon , king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah and that during the Kingdom of Judah , the temple was dedicated to Yahweh , and is said to have housed the Ark of the Covenant . Jewish historian Josephus says that `` the temple was burnt four hundred and seventy years , six months , and ten days after it was built '' , although rabbinic sources state that the First Temple stood for 410 years and , based on the 2nd - century work Seder Olam Rabbah , place construction in 832 BCE and destruction in 422 BCE , 165 years later than secular estimates . Because of the religious sensitivities involved , and the politically volatile situation in Jerusalem , only limited archaeological surveys of the Temple Mount have been conducted . No archaeological excavations have been allowed on the Temple Mount during modern times . Therefore , there are very few pieces of archaeological evidence for the existence of Solomon 's Temple . An Ivory pomegranate which mentions priests in the house `` of -- - h '' , and an inscription recording the Temple 's restoration under Jehoash have both appeared on the antiquities market , but their authenticity has been challenged and they are the subject of controversy .

( August 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In an artistic representation , King Solomon dedicates the Temple at Jerusalem ( painting by James Tissot or follower , c. 1896 -- 1902 ) The only source of information on the First Temple is the Tanakh . According to the biblical sources , the temple was constructed under Solomon , during the united monarchy of Israel and Judah . The Bible describes Hiram I of Tyre who furnished architects , workmen and cedar timbers for the temple of his ally Solomon at Jerusalem . He also co-operated with Solomon in mounting an expedition on the Red Sea . 1 Kings 6 : 1 puts the date of the beginning of building the temple `` in the fourth year of Solomon 's reign over Israel '' . The conventional dates of Solomon 's reign are circa 970 to 931 BCE . This puts the date of its construction in the mid-10th century BCE . Schmid and Rupprecht are of the view that the site of the temple used to be a Jebusite shrine which Solomon chose in an attempt to unify the Jebusites and Israelites. 1 Kings 9 : 10 says that it took Solomon 20 years altogether to build the Temple and his royal palace . The Temple itself finished being built after 7 years . During the united monarchy the Temple was dedicated to Yahweh , the God of Israel , and housed the Ark of the Covenant . Rabbinic sources state that the First Temple stood for 410 years and , based on the 2nd - century work Seder Olam Rabbah , place construction in 832 BCE and destruction in 422 BCE ( 3338 AM ) , 165 years later than secular estimates . The exact location of the Temple is unknown : it is believed to have been situated upon the hill which forms the site of the 1st century Second Temple and present - day Temple Mount , where the Dome of the Rock is situated . According to the Tanakh , the Temple was plundered by the Neo-Babylonian Empire king Nebuchadnezzar II when the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem during the brief reign of Jehoiachin c. 598 BCE ( 2 Kings 24 : 13 ) . A decade later , Nebuchadnezzar again besieged Jerusalem and after 30 months finally breached the city walls in 587 BCE , subsequently burning the Temple , along with most of the city ( 2 Kings 25 ) . According to Jewish tradition , the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av , the 9th day of Av ( Hebrew calendar ) . Architectural description ( edit ) Plan of Solomon 's Temple , published 1905 Plan of Solomon 's Temple with measurements The Temple of Solomon is considered to be built according to Phoenician design , and its description is considered the best description of what a Phoenician temple looked like . The detailed descriptions provided in the Tanakh are the sources for reconstructions of its appearance . Technical details are lacking , since the scribes who wrote the books were not architects or engineers . Nevertheless , the descriptions have inspired modern replicas of the temple and influenced later structures around the world . Reconstructions differ ; the following is largely based on Easton 's Bible Dictionary and the Jewish Encyclopedia : Holy of Holies ( edit ) The Holy of Holies , or Kodesh haKodashim in Hebrew , ( 1 Kings 6 : 19 ; 8 : 6 ) , also called the `` Inner House '' ( 6 : 27 ) , ( Heb. 9 : 3 ) was 20 cubits in length , breadth , and height . The usual explanation for the discrepancy between its height and the 30 - cubit height of the temple is that its floor was elevated , like the cella of other ancient temples . It was floored and wainscotted with cedar of Lebanon ( 1 Kings 6 : 16 ) , and its walls and floor were overlaid with gold ( 6 : 20 , 21 , 30 ) amounting to 600 talents ( 2 Chr. 3 : 8 ) or roughly 20 metric tons . It contained two cherubim of olive - wood , each 10 cubits high ( 1 Kings 6 : 16 , 20 , 21 , 23 -- 28 ) and each having outspread wings of 10 cubits span , so that , since they stood side by side , the wings touched the wall on either side and met in the center of the room . There was a two - leaved door between it and the Holy Place overlaid with gold ( 2 Chr. 4 : 22 ) ; also a veil of tekhelet ( blue ) , purple , and crimson and fine linen ( 2 Chronicles 3 : 14 ; compare Exodus 26 : 33 ) . It had no windows ( 1 Kings 8 : 12 ) and was considered the dwelling - place of the `` name '' of God . The Kodesh haKodashim ( the Holy of Holies ) was prepared to receive and house the Ark ( 1 Kings 6 : 19 ) ; and when the Temple was dedicated , the Ark , containing the original tablets of the Ten Commandments , was placed beneath the cherubim ( 1 Kings 8 : 6 ) . Hekhal ( edit ) The Hekhal , or Holy Place , ( 1 Kings 8 : 8 -- 10 ) , is also called the `` greater house '' ( 2 Chr. 3 : 5 ) and the `` temple '' ( 1 Kings 6 : 17 ) ; the word also means `` palace '' , was of the same width and height as the Holy of Holies , but 40 cubits in length . Its walls were lined with cedar , on which were carved figures of cherubim , palm - trees , and open flowers , which were overlaid with gold . Chains of gold further marked it off from the Holy of Holies . The floor of the Temple was of fir - wood overlaid with gold . The door - posts , of olive - wood , supported folding - doors of fir . The doors of the Holy of Holies were of olive - wood . On both sets of doors were carved cherubim , palm - trees , and flowers , all being overlaid with gold ( 1 Kings 6 : 15 et seq . ) Etymology ( edit ) The Hebrew noun hekhal ( Hebrew היכל ) in Classical Hebrew means `` a large building '' . This can be either the main building of the Temple in Jerusalem ( that is the nave , or sanctuary , of the Temple ) , or a palace such as the `` palace '' of Ahab , king of Samaria , or the `` palace '' of the King of Babylon . Hekhal is used 80 times in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible . Of these , 70 refer to the House of the LORD ( in Hebrew Bible בֵּית יְהוָה beit Yahweh ) , the other 10 are references to palaces . There is no reference to any part of the tabernacle using this term in the Hebrew Bible . `` In the year that king Uzziah died . I saw the LORD sitting upon a throne high and lifted up , and His train filled the hekhal ( sanctuary ) . '' Isaiah 6 : 1 . Use in Architecture ( edit ) In older English versions of the Bible , including the King James Version , the term `` temple '' is used to translate hekhal . In modern versions more reflective of archaeological research , the distinction is made of different sections of the whole Temple . Scholars and archaeologists generally agree on the structure of Solomon 's Temple as described in 1 Kings 6 : 3 -- 5 , with the main building , the hekhal , in English now sometimes called `` the sanctuary '' , the devir , the inner sanctuary , and finally the Holy of Holies . This main building was between the outer altar , where most sacrifices were performed , and inside at the far end was the entry to the Holy of Holies , originally containing the Ark of the Covenant . The main hekhal contained a number of sacred ritual objects including the seven branched candlestick , the inner altar for incense offerings ( also called the `` Golden Altar '' ) , and the table of the showbread . The same architectural layout of the temple was adopted in synagogues leading to the hekhal being applied in Sephardi usage to the Ashkenazi Torah ark , the equivalent of the nave . Porch ( edit ) The Ulam , or porch , acted as an entrance before the Temple on the east ( 1 Kings 6 : 3 ; 2 Chr. 3 : 4 ; 9 : 7 ) . This was 20 cubits long ( corresponding to the width of the Temple ) and 10 cubits deep ( 1 Kings 6 : 3 ) . ( ESV 2 Chr. 3 : 4 ) notes that this porch was 120 cubits high . The description does not specify whether a wall separated it from the next chamber . In the porch stood the two pillars Jachin and Boaz ( 1 Kings 7 : 21 ; 2 Kings 11 : 14 ; 23 : 3 ) , which were 18 cubits in height . Chambers ( edit ) Chambers were built around the Temple on the southern , western and northern sides ( 1 Kings 6 : 5 -- 10 ) . These formed a part of the building and were used for storage . They were probably one story high at first ; two more may have been added later . Courts ( edit ) According to the Bible , two courts surrounded the Temple . The Inner Court ( 1 Kings 6 : 36 ) , or Court of the Priests ( 2 Chr. 4 : 9 ) , was separated from the space beyond by a wall of three courses of hewn stone , surmounted by cedar beams ( 1 Kings 6 : 36 ) . It contained the Altar of burnt - offering ( 2 Chr. 15 : 8 ) , the Brazen Sea laver ( 4 : 2 -- 5 , 10 ) and ten other lavers ( 1 Kings 7 : 38 , 39 ) . A brazen altar stood before the Temple ( 2 Kings 16 : 14 ) , its dimensions 20 cubits square and 10 cubits high ( 2 Chr. 4 : 1 ) . The Great Court surrounded the whole Temple ( 2 Chr. 4 : 9 ) . It was here that people assembled to worship . ( Jeremiah 19 : 14 ; 26 : 2 ) . Molten Sea ( edit ) Main article : Molten Sea According to the Hebrew Bible , the Molten Sea or Brazen Sea ( ים מוצק `` cast metal sea '' ) was a large basin in the Temple for ablution of the priests . It is described in 1 Kings 7 : 23 - 26 and 2 Chronicles 4 : 2 - 5 . It stood in the south - eastern corner of the inner court . According to the Bible it was five cubits high , ten cubits in diameter from brim to brim , and thirty cubits in circumference . The brim was `` like the calyx of a lily '' and turned outward `` about an hand breadth '' ; or about four inches . It was placed on the backs of twelve oxen , standing with their faces outward . The Book of Kings states that it contains 2,000 baths ( 90 cubic meters ) , while Chronicles ( 2 Chr. 4 : 5 -- 6 ) states it can hold up to 3,000 baths ( 136 cubic meters ) and states that its purpose was to afford opportunity for the purification by immersion of the bodies of the priests . The fact that it was a wash basin which was too large to enter from above lends to the idea that water would likely have flowed from it down into a subcontainer beneath . The water was originally supplied by the Gibeonites , but was afterwards brought by a conduit from Solomon 's Pools . The molten sea was made of brass or bronze , which Solomon had taken from the captured cities of Hadarezer , the king of Zobah ( 1 Chronicles 18 : 8 ) . Ahaz later removed this laver from the oxen , and placed it on a stone pavement ( 2 Kings 16 : 17 ) . It was destroyed by the Chaldeans ( 2 Kings 25 : 13 ) . The lavers , each of which held `` forty baths '' ( 1 Kings 7 : 38 ) , rested on portable holders made of bronze , provided with wheels , and ornamented with figures of lions , cherubim , and palm - trees . The author of the books of the Kings describes their minute details with great interest ( 1 Kings 7 : 27 -- 37 ) . Josephus reported that the vessels in the Temple were composed of orichalcum in Antiquities of the Jews . According to 1 Kings 7 : 48 there stood before the Holy of Holies a golden Altar of Incense and a table for showbread . This table was of gold , as were also the five candlesticks on each side of it . The implements for the care of the candles -- tongs , basins , snuffers , and fire - pans -- were of gold ; and so were the hinges of the doors . Dedication ( edit ) 1 Kings 8 : 10 - 66 and 2 Chronicles 6 : 1 - 42 recount the events of the temple 's dedication . When the priests emerged from the holy of holies after placing the Ark there , the Temple was filled with an overpowering cloud which interrupted the dedication ceremony , `` for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord '' ( 1 Kings 8 : 10 -- 11 ; 2 Chronicles 5 : 13 , 14 ) . Solomon interpreted the cloud as `` ( proof ) that his pious work was accepted '' : The Lord has said that he would dwell in thick darkness . I have built you an exalted house , a place for you to dwell in forever . ( 1 Kings 8 : 12 - 13 ) The allusion is to Leviticus 16 : 2 : The Lord said to Moses : Tell your brother Aaron not to come just at any time into the sanctuary inside the curtain before the mercy seat that is upon the ark , or he will die ; for I appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat . Solomon then led the whole assembly of Israel in prayer , noting that the construction on the temple represented a fulfilment of God 's promise to David , dedicating the temple as a place of prayer and reconciliation for the people of Israel and for foreigners living in Israel , and highlighting the paradox that God who lives in the heavens can not really be contained within a single building . The dedication was concluded with sacrifices said to have included `` twenty - two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep '' . Archaeology ( edit ) Because of the religious and political sensitivities involved , no archaeological excavations and only limited surface surveys of the Temple Mount have been conducted since Charles Warren 's expedition of 1867 -- 70 . There is no archaeological evidence for the existence of Solomon 's Temple , and the building is not mentioned in surviving extra-biblical accounts . Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman argue that the first Jewish temple in Jerusalem was not built until the end of the 7th century BCE , around three hundred years after Solomon . They believe the temple should not really be assigned to Solomon , who they see as little more than a small - time hill country chieftain , and argue that it was most likely built by Josiah , who governed Judah from 639 to 609 BCE . An ostracon ( excavated prior to 1981 ) , sometimes referred to as the House of Yahweh ostracon , was discovered at Tel Arad , dated to 6th century BCE which mentions a temple which is probably the Temple in Jerusalem . A thumb - sized ivory pomegranate ( which came to light in 1979 ) measuring 44 millimetres ( 1.7 in ) in height , and bearing an ancient Hebrew inscription `` Sacred donation for the priests in the House of -- - h , ) '' , was believed to have adorned a sceptre used by the high priest in Solomon 's Temple . It was considered the most important item of biblical antiquities in the Israel Museum 's collection . However , in 2004 , the Israel Antiquities Authority reported the inscription to be a forgery , though the ivory pomegranate itself was dated to the 14th or 13th century BCE . This was based on the report 's claim that three incised letters in the inscription stopped short of an ancient break , as they would have if carved after the ancient break was made . Since then , it has been proven that one of the letters was indeed carved prior to the ancient break , and the status of the other two letters are in question . Some paleographers and others have continued to insist that the inscription is ancient , some dispute this so the authenticity of this writing is still the object of discussion . Another artifact , the Jehoash Inscription , which first came to notice in 2003 , contains a 15 - line description of King Jehoash 's ninth - century BCE restoration of the Temple . Its authenticity was called into question by a report by the Israel Antiquities Authority , which said that the surface patina contained microfossils of foraminifera . As these fossils do not dissolve in water , they can not occur in a calcium carbonate patina , leading initial investigators to conclude that the patina must be an artificial chemical mix applied to the stone by forgers . As of late 2012 , the academic community is split on whether the tablet is authentic or not . Commenting on a 2012 report by geologists arguing for the authenticity of the inscription , in October 2012 , Hershel Shanks ( who believes the inscription is genuine ) wrote the current situation was that most Hebrew language scholars believe that the inscription is a forgery and geologists that it is genuine , and thus `` Because we rely on experts , and because there is an apparently irresolvable conflict of experts in this case , BAR has taken no position with respect to the authenticity of the Jehoash Inscription . '' By 2006 , the Temple Mount Sifting Project had recovered numerous artifacts dating from the 8th to 7th centuries BCE from soil removed in 1999 by the Islamic Religious Trust ( Waqf ) from the Solomon 's Stables area of the Temple Mount . These include stone weights for weighing silver and a First Temple period bulla , or seal impression , containing ancient Hebrew writing which includes the name Netanyahu ben Yaush . Netanyahu is a name mentioned several times in the Book of Jeremiah while the name Yaush appears in the Lachish letters . However , the combination of names was unknown to scholars . In 2007 , artifacts dating to the 8th to 6th centuries BCE were described as being possibly the first physical evidence of human activity at the Temple Mount during the First Temple period . The findings included animal bones ; ceramic bowl rims , bases , and body sherds ; the base of a juglet used to pour oil ; the handle of a small juglet ; and the rim of a storage jar . Other contemporary temples ( edit ) There is archaeological and written evidence of three Israelite temples , either contemporary or of very close date , dedicated to Yahweh ( Elephantine temple , probably Arad too ) , either in the Land of Israel or in Egypt . Two of them have the same general outline as given by the Bible for the Jerusalem Temple . The Israelite temple at Tel Arad in Judah , 10th to 8th / 7th century BCE and possibly dedicated to Yahweh and Asherah . The Jewish temple at Elephantine in Egypt , already standing in 525 BCE The Israelite temple at Tel Motza , c. 750 BCE discovered in 2012 a few kilometres west of Jerusalem . Several Iron Age temples have been found in the region that have striking similarities to the Temple of King Solomon . In particular the Ain Dara ( archaeological site ) , Ain Dara temple in northern Syria with a similar age , size , plan and decorations . Freemasonry ( edit ) Rituals in Freemasonry refer to King Solomon and the building of his Temple . Masonic buildings , where Lodge members meet , are sometimes called ' temples ' ; an allegoric reference to King Solomon 's Temple . Kabbalah ( edit ) Kabbalah views the design of the Temple of Solomon as representative of the metaphysical world and the descending light of the creator through Sephirot of the Tree of Life . The levels of the outer , inner and priest 's courts represent three lower worlds of Kabbalah . The Boaz and Jachin pillars at the entrance of the temple represent the active and passive elements of the world of Atziluth . The original menorah and its seven branches represent the seven lower Sephirot of the Tree of Life . The veil of the Holy of Holies and the inner part of the temple represent the Veil of the Abyss on the Tree of Life , behind which the Shekhina or Divine presence hovers . Islam ( edit ) The Temple in Jerusalem is mentioned in verse 7 of the surah Al - Isra in the Quran ; commentators of Quran such as Muhammad al - Tahir ibn Ashur postulate that this verse refers specifically to the Temple of Solomon . Popular culture ( edit ) Solomon 's Temple appears in Solomon and Sheba ( 1959 ) and in the novel King Solomon 's Mines ( 1885 ) . It also appears in the video game Assassin 's Creed where the main character Altaïr Ibn - La'Ahad deal with Robert de Sablé . It appears too on Assassin 's Creed Unity ( 2014 ) where the Knight Templar Jacques de Molay is burned and died .

Question: who built the first temple for god in jerusalem

Solomon, king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah


Google Maps pin - wikipedia Google Maps pin Jump to : navigation , search The pin in Google headquarters , next to a Google Maps Street View vehicle The Google Maps pin is the inverted - drop - shaped icon that marks locations in Google Maps . The pin is protected under a U.S. design patent as `` teardrop - shaped marker icon including a shadow . '' Google has used the pin in various graphics , games , and promotional materials . The pin , sometimes referred to as `` the marker , '' has been widely co-opted by other companies , organizations , and individuals for their own marketing efforts , artwork , and activism . In both digital and physical representations , the pin is often used to symbolize mapping software and the technology industry as a whole . The Google Maps pin has been called `` a product of pure function that has evolved into a cultural phenomenon , '' and `` a solution that would take on a life of its own , recognizable enough to stick up for itself in the art and design projects of others . '' `` Looking like a hot air balloon in flight , this marker has landed squarely in the middle of our visual culture . '' In 2014 , the Museum of Modern Art acquired a physical representation of the Google Maps pin for its permanent collection . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Use by Google 2.1 Promotional materials 2.2 Favorite Places campaign 2.3 Hello World campaign 2.4 Other uses by Google 3 Use by other organizations 3.1 Inclusion in logos 3.2 Political use 4 In popular culture 4.1 Sculpture 5 References History ( edit ) Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen designed the Google Maps pin prior to the launch of Google Maps in 2005 . He wanted the pin to accurately mark a point on a map without obscuring the location . The main body of the pin is circular at the top , but tapers into a point at the bottom , forming an inverted teardrop shape . A drop shadow extends from the point at the bottom , giving the pin a three - dimensional look . In the original version of Google Maps , the pin was displayed with the letters `` A '' through `` J '' when there was more than one search results . In later versions , the pin was shown with a black dot inside to mark a single location . In 2011 , Google released a minor redesign of the pin that changed the black outline of the pin to a dark red for a softer look . Use by Google ( edit ) Google has used the pin in online and traditional print marketing campaigns for Google Maps . The pin is displayed as part of the icon for the Google Maps mobile application , on a stylized map along with an uppercase letter `` G '' for `` Google . '' Promotional materials ( edit ) Deschutes Brewery , 2011 The pin has been used on promotional objects like beer glasses , stickers , and coffee cup sleeves in various marketing campaigns . Google has also designed and sold T - shirts that display a Google Maps pin along with the words `` I am here . '' Favorite Places campaign ( edit ) In 2009 , Google launched the Favorite Places marketing campaign . 100,000 local businesses received a store - window decal portraying the Google Maps pin on a map , with the words `` We 're a Favorite Place on Google . '' The stickers included a QR code which could be scanned by customers to bring up the business ' Place Page in order to leave an online review . Celebrities including Yo - Yo Ma , Diane von Furstenberg , Al Gore , and Tony Hawk , shared their favorite locations around the world , such as restaurants , bakeries , and design shops . At 30 of these locations , Google erected an 800 - pound pin , each personalized with unique designs based on input from the celebrity who chose that location . Hello world campaign ( edit ) In 2013 , Google commissioned New York - based graphic designer Matt Delbridge for the Hello World ad campaign . Many of the illustrations incorporated the Google Maps pin along with images associated with specific locations around the world . Other uses by Google ( edit ) In 2010 , Google created online cards that used several pins to spell out `` Happy Holidays . '' In 2011 , Google doubled the Google Maps pin to create a heart for a Map Your Valentine holiday feature . In 2011 , Google partnered with Susan G. Komen for the Cure to create a campaign called Pink Pin in New York City . Businesses and consumers were asked to pin their locations on the Pink Pin website , share personal stories related to breast cancer awareness , and donate to the cause . In 2014 , Google launched `` Smarty Pins , '' a browser - based geographical trivia game that features the Google Maps pin . Players receive clues about locations around the world , which they then identify by placing the Google Maps pin on a map . Players start the game with 1,000 points , and lose points equivalent to the number of miles they place their pins from the correct location . Bonus points can be gained by answering the trivia questions quickly . Use by other organizations ( edit ) The Google Maps API allows developers to create customized maps , for which they can create their own markers . Inclusion in logos ( edit ) Although the Google Maps pin is protected under a U.S. design patent , other organizations have used it as a component of their own logos . The Labour Party of Malta used an image closely resembling the Google Maps pin as their logo in the 2014 European Parliament election campaign . A Google spokesperson contacted by The Times of Malta would not comment on whether the logo was a breach of Google 's intellectual property rights , though a copyright lawyer interviewed for the article explained that the similarity could result in legal repercussions . In 2010 , Facebook filed a trademark application for a design including a marker similar to the Google Maps pin above a representation of a rectangular map , but later abandoned the application . Pride San Francisco , 2013 Political use ( edit ) When Metahaven , an Amsterdam - based studio for design and research , was charged with drafting concepts for Wikileaks ' new visual identity , they considered integrating the Google Maps pin , inverted . This suggested a dripping leak , and the impossibility of pinpointing the source . In San Francisco , demonstrators in San Francisco have carried signs shaped like the Google Maps pin and bearing the word `` evicted '' to protest the recent surge in tech - driven evictions in San Francisco . In popular culture ( edit ) The Google Maps pin has evolved beyond its original intended use to become quasi-iconic in popular culture . Rob Walker cites the pin as an example of dedigitization , `` something from the digital world crossing over to the physical . '' The pin has been used in various mediums not just to pinpoint locations , but to represent abstracts like mapping technology or even the technology industry as a whole . Sculpture ( edit ) Berlin - based conceptual artist Aram Bartholl is known for creating works that examine the relationship between the digital and physical world , using popular imagery from software and games . Beginning in 2006 , Bartholl has created a public art installation called Map . Bartholl installs a large physical representation of the Google Maps pin in the exact location that Google Maps identifies as the center of a city . Locations thus far have included Taipei , Berlin , Arles , and Tallinn . Each sculpture remains in place for about three months , usually coinciding with a local art festival or exhibit . The series was designed to raise viewers ' awareness of the increasing overlap between the virtual and the physical , and to highlight mapping services ' influence on perceptions of location . Bartholl 's physical representations of the Google Maps pin urges viewers to reevaluate the information given by digitized maps , the meaning of the `` center '' of a city , the politicization of boundaries , and other issues related to maps and the digital versus the physical world . Before the Royal College of Art 's 150th - anniversary exhibition in 2007 , student Robert Sollis e-mailed Google requesting a temporary Google Maps marker be placed over the college 's temporary site in Kensington Gardens . Upon receiving only an auto - reply , Sollis created his own physical marker , which he hoped would appear in satellite images . Sollis constructed the Google Carpet of individual carpet tiles , each 185mm , which corresponds to one pixel of Google 's satellite imagery . In July 2013 , as part of a public art event in Horsens , Denmark , the Icelandic - Danish design duo ÖRNDUVALD installed a mural called Pin at 55 ° 51 ′ 42 '' N 9 ° 50 ′ 47 '' E  /  55.86167 ° N 9.84639 ° E  / 55.86167 ; 9.84639 . The 9 - square - meter piece , `` a giant and shimmering reinterpretation of the Google Maps pin , '' was made from 10,078 circular discs mounted to plywood . Amanda Kooser of cnet wrote , `` if Liberace had been on the Google Maps design team , all the pins would look like this , '' while Jamie Condliffe stated in Gizmodo , `` The Google Maps pin is iconic : bold and simple , yet incredibly memorable . And emblazoned on the side of a Danish building in twinkling metallic form , it might just be the geekiest mural ever . '' In June 2012 , Taiwanese designer Shu - Chun Hsiao created Project Google Birdhouse by hanging pin - shaped birdhouses around Taipei . He stated , `` Google Map had created a remarkable landmark icon , showing the sites on its street views . To search for a landmark with online Google map , we can scroll to zoom from the satellite , soon we 'll be able to wander on streets , virtually . Birds , have the most real experience of google map . Birds can fly through the city , through streets . A birdhouse becomes their destination as google map does . The iconic symbol will become a navigating landmark for the flying birds . '' Jaime Derriger wrote , `` The icon that we have all come to know and love which graces our Google maps to let us know where we are , or where we need to go , has become ubiquitous . Designer Shu - Chun Hsiao realized this and created the Google Birdhouse Project , an ongoing project to give birds destinations of their own , just like Google maps does for humans .

The symbol consists of three dots placed in an upright triangle and is read therefore . It is encoded at U + 2234 ∴ therefore ( HTML & # 8756 ; &there4 ; ) . For common use in Microsoft Office hold the ALT key and type `` 8756 '' . While it is not generally used in formal writing , it is used in mathematics and shorthand . It is complementary to U + 2235 ∵ because ( HTML & # 8757 ; ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Example of use 3 Related signs 4 See also 5 References History ( edit ) According to Cajori , A History of Mathematical Notations , Johann Rahn used both the therefore and because signs to mean `` therefore '' ; in the German edition of Teutsche Algebra ( 1659 ) the therefore sign was prevalent with the modern meaning , but in the 1668 English edition Rahn used the because sign more often to mean `` therefore '' . Other authors in the eighteenth century also used three dots in a triangle shape to signify `` therefore , '' but as with Rahn , there was n't much in the way of consistency as to how the triangle was oriented ; because with its current meaning appears to have originated in the nineteenth century . In this century , the three - dot notation for therefore became very rare in continental Europe , but it remains popular in the British Isles . Example of use ( edit ) Used in a syllogism : All gods are immortal . Zeus is a god . ∴ Zeus is immortal . x + 1 = 6 ∴ x = 5 Related signs ( edit ) A diploma from the Masonic Grande Loge de France showing the symbol as a substitute for the dot of abbreviation . The inverted form ∵ , known as the because sign , is sometimes used as a shorthand form of `` because '' . This is Unicode character U + 2235 . The therefore sign is sometimes used as a substitute for an asterism ⁂ . In meteorology , the therefore sign is used to indicate moderate rain on a station model ; the asterism indicates moderate snow . To denote logical implication or entailment , various signs are used in mathematical logic : → , ⇒ , ⊃ , ⊢ , ⊨ . These symbols are then part of a mathematical formula , and are not considered to be punctuation . In contrast , the therefore sign is traditionally used as a punctuation mark , and does not form part of a logical formula . The graphically identical sign ∴ serves as a Japanese map symbol on the maps of the Geographical Survey Institute of Japan , indicating a tea plantation . On other maps the sign , often with thicker dots , is sometimes used to signal the presence of a national monument or ruins . The character ஃ in the Tamil script represents the āytam , a special sound of the Tamil language . In Masonic traditions the symbol is used for abbreviation , instead of the usual period . For example `` R ∴ W ∴ John Smith '' is an abbreviation for `` Right Worshipful John Smith '' ( the term Right Worshipful is an archaic title just as `` Land Lord '' is and indicates that Brother Smith is a Grand Lodge officer ) . In Norwegian and Danish , a similar symbol is used as an explanatory symbol ( forklaringstegnet ) . It can be typeset using the open o followed by a colon , thus : ɔ : . It is used for the meaning `` namely '' , `` id est '' , `` scilicet '' or similar . See also ( edit ) Q.E.D. Mathematical jargon References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Cajori , vol. 1 , p. 211 '' .

Super Bowl 50 halftime show - wikipedia Super Bowl 50 halftime show Jump to : navigation , search Super Bowl 50 halftime show Date February 7 , 2016 Location Santa Clara , California Venue Levi 's Stadium Headliner Coldplay Special guests Beyoncé , Bruno Mars with Mark Ronson , Gustavo Dudamel , Youth Orchestra L.A , University of California Marching Band Sponsor Pepsi Director Hamish Hamilton Producer Ricky Kirshner Super Bowl halftime show chronology XLIX ( 2015 ) 50 ( 2016 ) LI ( 2017 ) The Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show took place on February 7 , 2016 , at Levi 's Stadium in Santa Clara , California as part of Super Bowl 50 . It was headlined by the British rock group Coldplay with special guest performers Beyoncé and Bruno Mars , who previously had headlined the Super Bowl XLVII and Super Bowl XLVIII halftime shows , respectively . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Performance 3 Critical reception 3.1 Controversy 4 Commercial reception 5 Set list 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Background ( edit ) Levi 's Stadium , location of Super Bowl 50 and the halftime show Coldplay , Rihanna , and Katy Perry were considered as potential acts for the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show in 2015 . Perry was soon confirmed as the headliner of the halftime show in October 2014 . In late November , 2015 , reports surfaced stating that multiple acts would perform during the halftime show . Coldplay was confirmed as the lead half time performer for Super Bowl 50 on December 3 , 2015 , one day before the release of their seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams . It was confirmed that Beyoncé and Bruno Mars would join Coldplay as special guests . Chris Martin called Mars to ask him to perform with Coldplay ; however , Mars declined the offer . Nevertheless , the singer of Coldplay invited Mars to his studio in Malibu where he was working . There , Martin revealed to Mars that he wanted for him to perform `` Uptown Funk '' with Beyonce . Despite this , Mars still did n't think it was a good idea and asked the former to talk to Beyonce to see what was her opinion on that . Martin videotaped him and Mars , while the former sang a song to Beyoncé so that she would come to do the Super Bowl with both of them . Beyonce response was receptive to the idea . At that time , Mars and Beyoncé were both doing a diet and stressing out . One day before the performance they were `` watching playback backstage '' , while Beyonce ate a bag of Cheetos . Mars asked her `` That 's what you 're doing ? '' , to which she replied `` There 's nothing more we can do these last two days . It 's gon na be what it 's gon na be . So I 'm gon na enjoy this bag of Cheetos . '' Mars strongly believes that Beyoncé is `` coming for you every single time . So you better bring your A-game every time . '' Performance ( edit ) Coldplay performing the halftime show . Coldplay frontman Chris Martin during the performance . Field during the halftime show . The audience participates in a card stunt The show opened with Chris Martin singing the opening chorus from `` Yellow '' . He was then joined by the remaining band members of Coldplay to perform `` Viva la Vida '' , `` Paradise '' , and `` Adventure of a Lifetime '' with the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles conducted by Gustavo Dudamel and the University of California Marching Band . Bruno Mars , Mark Ronson , and a troupe of backing dancers ( dressed in the style of Michael Jackson ) then performed `` Uptown Funk '' . Beyoncé , also in a Jackson - inspired outfit and appearing with a set of backing dancers dressed as Black Panthers , then performed her new single `` Formation '' in a mass choreographed dance number before joining Mars onstage for a verse of `` Uptown Funk '' . Coldplay played a snippet of `` Clocks '' during a video montage of past Super Bowl halftime and national anthem performances , including those by Bruce Springsteen , Missy Elliott , Katy Perry , The Rolling Stones , Paul McCartney , Stevie Wonder , Diana Ross , James Brown , Whitney Houston , Michael Jackson , The Black Eyed Peas , U2 , Prince , Beyoncé and Mars . The show concluded with the band performing `` Fix You '' and `` Up&Up '' with Beyoncé , Mars and everyone taking part in the show . At the end of the performance , the audience participated in a card - stunt creating a rainbow and the phrase , `` Believe in love '' , the closing lyrics to Coldplay 's A Head Full of Dreams . Critical reception ( edit ) Bruno Mars performed at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show and received positive reviews . The performance received generally mixed review from critics , who complimented Beyoncé and Mars ' part of the performance but were critical of Coldplay . Jon Caramanica of The New York Times stated that Coldplay `` acted more as a stagehand than an actual performer '' while Beyoncé 's section of the performance was `` the night 's true event '' . Caramanica also noted that Beyoncé and Mars `` outsang '' Martin during the closing part of the performance . Andrew Barker of Variety similarly noted that `` Coldplay seemed resigned to politely allowing themselves to be played right off their own stage '' by the `` far flashier '' Mars and Beyoncé . In a review for Fox Sports , Chris Chase panned Coldplay 's performance , calling it `` inexplicable , indecipherable , and unnecessary '' and a `` musical snooze '' . Chase complimented Beyoncé 's and Mars ' appearances but described the performance as `` boring '' . Alex Needham of The Guardian gave the performance four stars , saying that `` Queen Bey at the height of her powers effortlessly overwhelmed Coldplay 's widescreen anthems in a show that seemed lightweight until she showed up '' . Beyoncé , seen here performing at the show , was both praised and castigated for her performance . Robert Bianco of USA Today stated that Martin `` seemed overwhelmed '' by the size of the event , and that despite being a `` personable and energetic performer '' , an `` awful lot '' of Martin 's energy `` went into jumping '' . Bianco praised Beyoncé 's appearance and stated that she `` stole the show '' . Wendy Geller of Yahoo ! also complimented Beyoncé 's and Mars ' appearances , but criticized the montage of previous halftime performances , describing it as `` confusing rather than touching '' and stating that the performance was `` definitely a cold play '' . Controversy ( edit ) Following the performance , Beyoncé was criticized for performing a song that they considered to be `` anti-police '' during the halftime show and for appearing to align herself with the Black Lives Matter movement . Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani accused the performance of being anti-police and also criticized Beyoncé 's use of Black Power and Black Panther Party symbolism in her dance routine . `` This is football , not Hollywood , and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us , and keep us alive , '' he said . The controversy caused a `` # BoycottBeyonce '' hashtag on Twitter and protesters announced plans for an `` anti-Beyoncé '' rally on the morning of February 16 outside of the NFL 's headquarters in New York City , but no one showed up for such a rally . CNN political commentator Sally Kohn stated that `` too many police continue to show themselves to be far more interested in reactionary defensiveness and preserving the abusive status quo . '' Black Lives Matter activist Melina Abdullah praised Beyoncé and other artists who `` are willing to raise social consciousness and use their artistry to advance social justice . '' Commercial reception ( edit ) The halftime show became the fourth highest ever watched show in the United States , with total viewership of 115.5 million . Set list ( edit ) `` Yellow '' `` Viva la Vida '' `` Paradise '' `` Adventure of a Lifetime '' `` Uptown Funk '' ( Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars ) ( contains elements of `` U Ca n't Touch This '' ) `` Formation '' ( Beyoncé ) ( contains elements of `` Crazy in Love '' ) `` Fix You '' / `` Up&Up '' ( featuring Mars and Beyoncé ) ( contains elements of `` Clocks '' , `` Midnight '' , `` Independent Women , Pt 1 '' , `` Just the Way You Are '' , `` Purple Rain '' and `` Beautiful Day '' ) Setlist obtained from Billboard .
