A Note about North, authored by Norma Robertson, presents a unique perspective on the orientation of the ancient Temple built in accordance with True North rather than Magnetic North. The work addresses the misconceptions arising from modern navigation tools like compasses, GPS, and Google Maps, which can lead to misinterpretations of the Temple's alignment. Robertson emphasizes that True North, defined by the direction toward the geographic North Pole, often diverges from Magnetic North due to magnetic declination—a subtle yet critical difference that varies by location and shifts over time.

The narrative asserts that the builders of the Temple, including King Solomon, possessed an inherent knowledge of east and its significance, relying on the natural elements like the sun, moon, and stars instead of contemporary instruments. The structure's design, featuring walls and steps aligned with cardinal directions, reinforces the notion that the Temple’s placement was intentional and precise. This thoughtful exploration encourages readers to recalibrate their understanding of ancient structures based on historical knowledge rather than modern technology.
