Still sounds like a tall tale to me. How could several feet of blood just sit on the top of a hill?
You’d accuse a pious Christian of telling whoppers?
Said the chronicler:
“Piles of heads, hands, and feet were to be seen in the streets of the city. It was necessary to pick one’s way over the bodies of men and horses. But these were small matters compared to what happened at the Temple of Solomon, a place where religious services are ordinarily chanted. What happened there? If I tell the truth, it will exceed your powers of belief.
“So let it suffice to say this much, at least, that in the Temple and porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins.”
“Indeed, it was a just and splendid judgment of God that this place should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers, since it had suffered so long from their blasphemies. The city was filled with corpses and blood.”
The “Temple” and “Porch of Solomon” refer to the Dome of the Rock shrine, a much more limited space with tunnels underneath. The Temple Mount is actually a platform rather than a rocky crag.
