Seven years. In 1 Kings 6:38 the Holy Bible says "......so was he seven years in building it."

None. The temple was built out of stone, timber, and metal: not bricks.

She the attached link to 1 Kings Chapter 6 where the construction of the temple is discussed.

How long did it take for the Temple to be built as in Ezra 6?

The temple was started by Zerubbabel in about B.C.537. The alter was build at that time so that sacrifices could begin. But then some trouble arose from outsiders and work was stopped. It was resumed later and semi-finished in B.C. 516. The temple was never as complete as Solomons temple and it wasn't until the time of Herod the Great (20 or 21 B.C.) that a great construction began to almost completely redo the temple.


What site is holy to all three major religions?

If by all three major religions, you mean Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the site considered holy by all three is the city of Jerusalem. For Judaism, the city has long been considered holy as it the place where King David and King Solomon intended to build the great temple to Yaweh on Temple Mount. The temple was destroyed during the Islamic conquests. All that now remains is the Western Wall.The city is also considered holy by Christianity as it features in many important events in the life of Jesus. It is the place where Jesus was presented at the temple, the place where He drove the traders from the temple, the place where He celebrated the Last Supper with His disciples and most importantly the place where He was crucified, died and was buried to rise again on the third day.For Islam it is a holy city because it figures largely in the Islamic belief in the tradition of the prophets in the lineage of Abraham ie. King David, King Solomon and Jesus.

How long did it take to build the 2nd Temple?

According to traditional chronology, the Second Temple was built in 352 BCE (not 516).The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. Then, in about 538 BCE, Cyrus the Great decreed that a second temple be built in Jerusalem. The Second Temple was finally completed under King Darius I, in 521 BCE.An alternative viewpoint, put forward by some conservative Jews, is that it was actually completed in 352 BCE. This is based on the Chazal, which they regard as indisputably right, although written long after the events. The Chazal compresses the Persian period from a period of 208 years, with ten kings, to only 52 years, with four kings. It also says that Darius I was the predecessor of Cyrus the Great, rather than his successor (after Cambyses), in line with the Book of Daniel but in spite of the rather more reliable Book of Isaiah, supported by Second Chronicles and the Book of Ezra (eg Ezra chapter 4).

How long did it take to build the roman temple of juptier?

Presumably you mean the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus (there were many temples of Jupiter). It is not known precisely. It was commissioned by the fifth king of Rome, Tarquinius Priscus, who only built the foundations. The sixth king, Servius Tullius, did not take on this project. The temple was completed by the seventh king, Tarquinius Superbus, who reigned form 535 BC to 509 BC. The temple was finished in 509. However, the year this king resumed construction is not known.

Why might Solomon have built only one temple?

King David was told to not build it, but to have his son build it. His son was Solomon. Answer 2 The above Answer does not address the Question. The answer is that the Temple was a huge undertaking, requiring years of effort by tens of thousands of builders, as recorded in 1 Kings. And more to the point, the Temple was the House of God, so more than one would not be appropriate. There were, however, thousands of simple synagogues, long before Solomon's time.
