What is "tantalizing fragment"?
A tantalizing fragment from the immense second temple complex still stands, forming the southwest perimeter of the Noble Sanctuary - the Western Wall or Wailing Wall.
I found it from dictionary that "tantalizing" means "making you feel strong desire to do sth." How could it fit into this sentence?
Thanks

Tantalus, from whose name the verb "tantalize" derives, served the flesh of his son Pelops as food (i.e. a sacrifice) for the Olympian gods.
As a punishment, he was condemned to an eternity of intolerable thirst in Hades. To refine the punishment, he was compelled to stand in water which receded every time he bent his head to drink, and below fruit that similarly receded every time he re
