Uber, first, please follow your own advice about stating fiction as fact. Bedrock is not 15 metres above. Bedrock is actually well below the ccurrent plaza. The Kotel extends below the plaza level. I believe what your calling bedrock was the 1967 level. Keep in mind, over the centuries the area was filled with considerable debris, particularly after the churns. Each succeeding occupied ( Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Ottoman ) simply built on top of the old structures, raising the ground level.
Who are the Rabbanim that are cholek the Kotel was built by Herod as a retaining wall? Have you been in the Tunnel? The path actually leads to the end where yo can see where the wall meets the bedrock.
