The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic shrine located in the city of Jerusalem. It was built between 689 and 691 CE atop the Temple Mount, allegedly on the spot of the farthest mosque visited by Muhammad during his Night Journey. As one of the most famous and important shrines in the world, the site of the Temple Mount is considered sacrosanct by the three religions of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.[1]

In 2012, a virtual representation of the dome and its surrounding area was used by Abstergo Industries for the second stage of their Animi Training Program.[2]
