The Roman general Pompey is known for having entered the Holy of Holies in the Jerusalem Temple in 63 BCE. Upon his arrival, he found the sacred inner chamber empty, which was significant since it was believed to house the presence of God and the Ark of the Covenant. This act symbolized the Roman conquest of Jerusalem and the subsequent desecration of the Jewish Temple. Pompey's entrance into the Holy of Holies was seen as a profound affront to Jewish religious beliefs.

A:A Roman general entered the Holy of Holies, expecting to find precious items of gold, silver and jewels. The room was empty - symbolically empty.
