Only temple recommended Mormons may step foot inside the structure, which is used for special instruction and ordinances, such as celestial marriages. But the view from outside the temple is inspirational enough.
The Neo-Gothic building, which was dedicated in 1893, took 40 years to construct. Except for some of its hardware and glass, the temple was built completely of native materials. With five floors, six spires -- the tallest standing at 210 feet -- and a granite facade, the structure is definitely imposing.Here are a couple of videos of the Salt Lake Temple. The first is a series of exterior shots set to music, and the second is a video of a scaled model of the temple showing the interior.
The other seven religious wonders in the CNN story are:
- Bahá'í House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois
- Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, California
- Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan
- Memorial Presbyterian Church in St. Augustine, Florida
- Temple Emanu-El in New York City
- Palace of Gold in Moundsville, West Virginia
- St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City
No human built this temple! You have got to be joking. Take a look at what the Mormon temple and Churches look like today and get enlightened. There are 2 where I live in Arizona one in Mesa and the other in Gilbert. The magnificent antiquetech megalithic structure in Salt Lake couldn't even be duplicated. Also, they destroyed The Saltier in Salt Lake as well and built a nothing Building! Lol. That building was probably an energy building used thousands of years ago but you Christians keep on spreading the truths. Lol.
