Presenting Rabbi Itai Elitzur’s Viewpoint – Where are the 500 by 500 sanctified cubits on the Temple Mount Located?

Using Google Maps I tried to locate where one might be able to put a square of 500 cubits onto the Temple Mount, using the popular cubit measurement of Rabbi Chaim Naeh, who claimed the cubit was 48 centimeters, which would translate into 240 meters if we wanted to measure 500 cubits.

I asked Rabbi Itai Elitzur if this (picture) is indeed his viewpoint about the location of the sanctified 500 cubits by 500 cubits of the Temple Mount. He answered, yes.
