Roger saw that the city of Jerusalem was located at the top of the mountainous areas of Judea. The walls were roughly quadrilateral, each side was about 900 meters long and 12 meters high, and there were 8 city gates.

He estimated in his mind that the area of ​​the city circle was about 1 square kilometer, much smaller than that of Palermo in Sicily.

He saw that the entire city of Jerusalem was surrounded by valleys and dry riverbeds, and only the north was not very obvious.

The old guide pointed to the mountains and valleys around the city wall and introduced:

“There are three obvious valleys in Jerusalem: the Kidron Valley, the Hinnon Valley and the Telop Valley.

“The Kidron Valley passes east of the old city, separating the Mount of Olives to the east from the city.

“The Valley of Hinnon is in the west of Jerusalem, and is a symbol of hell in the biblical eschatology.

“The Telop Valley is located in the northwest, close to the Damascus Gate, and flows into the Siloa Pond to the south-southeast.

"The mountain to the south is Mount Zion, which corresponds to the Zion Gate on the south side of the city wall. Not far from the gate is Jesus' last sanctuary."

The old alley guide pointed to the southeast corner of the city and said excitedly: "Look, where is the Temple Mount, it is the Holy City in the Holy City."

Roger was looking at the city area where the dense buildings were crowded with almost no gaps, and when he heard this, he turned his eyes there.

He saw that the Temple Mount was like a high platform with a flat square on it.

Compared to other places in the city, that place is relatively empty.

The old guide pointed to a stone wall that looked ordinary on the west side of the Temple Mountain and said:

“That is the Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall.

“A thousand years before Jesus’ birth, King Solomon built a temple in Jerusalem.

“However, when Jerusalem was captured by the Babylonians, the temple was burned, leaving only this wall.

"In the center of the Judaism and the most sacred city, the ruins of the former temple, the Western Wall, remain the most sacred place of Judaism."

Roger was not infected by the old guide's words. He did not believe in Judaism, so he had no feelings for this wall.

He looked at the platform, and there were only two buildings, both of which looked obvious in the Elysian style.

An octagonal building is located in the center of a high platform. The wooden circular dome is about 50 meters high and has a diameter of more than 20 meters. There is a cross on the top.

Roger felt that this should have been a mosque, but there was no towering towering up to the sky beside it.

The old guide's introduction caught up with Roger's sight, and he said:

“This is the Dome Mosque, which has now been converted into a church, and it has always been one of the most famous symbols of Jerusalem.

"It is also known as the 'Rock Mosque' because there is a treasure of the temple: a light blue rock.

“The boulder is only as high as the waist, but is as wide as the foundation of a house.

“It was placed in the center of the temple, inlaid with silver and copper, surrounded by copper railings.

"There is a large pit on this rock, which is said to be the horseshoe mark left by the prophet Muhan Mod here "climbs the sky."

"Sir, do you know the story of 'Climbing the Sky'?"

Roger remembers that the ancient scriptures record the deeds of Muhammad traveling to Jerusalem at night.

And the old guide with broken mouth might think that Roger, as a Christian lord, could not know such a thing, so he began to tell:

"Mullins believed that one night in the ninth year of the founding of the Church, Muhammad, accompanied by an angel, rode a horse with a beautiful face from Mecca to Jerusalem, stepped on stones to heaven, and listened to Allah's apocalypse.

“To commemorate the night journey of Muhammad, and meet with the prophets, the Mullins built these two mosques.

“Elam also listed Jerusalem as Mecca, the third holy land after Medina.”

Roger frowned when he heard this, and turned his eyes to another building located on the south side of the high platform, the second mosque in the mouth of the old leader.

The building is tall, magnificent, with large domes and gold decorations, standing tall in the blue sky and blue sky, shining brightly under the scorching sun, looking solemn and magnificent.

The main hall under the dome is about 90 meters long, about 35 meters wide, and about 30 stories high.

However, some of them hung crosses and looked like churches.

The other part appears to be the barracks and arsenal of the Knights.

A long stable was built next to the hall.

There is no way to see the mosque.

The old guide is still vigorously introducing:

"This is the Alksa Mosque, also known as the "Far-Medal"

“There are 53 marble columns and 49 marble columns in the hall, supporting the roof.

"Previously there were only doors on both sides of the east and west, and because it was a few weeks ago, another north gate was opened.
