Yes, in Satan's cunning, the Jews are believing another lie.

  The only source of water in ancient Jerusalem was the Gihon Spring.
The altar had to be built there to wash away all the blood of the
hundreds of animals offered on the holy days down into the Kidron
Valley. The Gihon was a hydraulic geyser giving immense amounts of
water..
   David sent Solomon down the hill from the palace to the Gihon to be
anointed King at the Tabernacle.
   Ezekiel ch 47 makes it absolutely clear the altar of the temple was
next to the Gihon Spring, and will be once again in the future.
   Josephus book5:ch5; books 6&7,say the SouthEast corner of the
square temple mount (600x600 feet) was in the deepest part of the
Kidron valley.
   The wall of the Temple Mount tower was 300 feet high at that point.
Todays faux Temple Mount was/ is the massive Antonia fortress.
   What I have read is that Ancient Jerusalem had three hills. The
city was on the lowest hill, the Gihon spring and the temple was on
the somewhat higher middle hill, and the Antonia fortress was later
built on the Northernmost highest hill where David's palace had been.
These two small valleys have long since been filled in.

Yes John, I was noting about the temple mount from Josephus book "Wars
of the Jews". Please make that clear in my post just now.
Thanks, Lewis
