It's not? I thought Har haBayis was one peak on har haMoriah.

Hadrian built the Antonia fortress on a higher one, just outside the
North-West corner of Har haBayis, overlooking (and implicitly
threatening) the Jews within.

AFAIK, unlike RZS's post, the slopes of Har haMoria did end at Gei Ben
Hinnom. "Vesa;ar haggevul... ir Benei Yehudah, zos pe'as Yam.... Vayarad
haggevul el qetzeih hahar, asher al penei gei Ven Hinnom..." (Yehoshua
18:14,16) It doesn't say that Ir Benei Yehudah is on Har haMoriah,
but Ir David was. So, I'll leave it with a "AFAIK".

Gut Voch!
