Even Licensed Guides

• From one guide I heard that Judith Montefiori was born to the House of Rothschild (and elsewhere that her connection to the Rothschilds was through her sister, who married one http://www.jewishmag.com/81mag/montefiore/montefiore.htm), from a second that the Turks only paved over a section of a dry moat to allow Kaiser Wilhelm II to enter the City in style (others said the Ottomans tore down a section of the City wall), from a third that Montefiori’s windmill (http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/06/montefiores-windmill.html) never ground grain (while another said it did for some years ).
• One mistake per guide is not bad.
• What exactly was torn down for Kaiser Bill I do not know, but it would be strange if the engineers of Suleiman the Magnificent (http://www.answers.com/topic/suleiman-the-magnificent) left a huge gap in their wall right next to the careful defenses of the Jaffa Gate.
