The pilgrims panicked, and the ensuing stampede reportedly resulted in the deaths of thousands of Jews.[2] According to Josephus, "upwards of ten thousand"[3] and more than twenty thousand[4] people perished in the event, though these numbers may have been exaggerated.[5] (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725694&forum_id=2],#48935513) |
