"Sources around the world have been destroyed, but those who have read manuscripts report that at the re-consecration of Jerusalem's second temple upon the completion of King Herod's renovations, the king was said to masturbate into the Holy of Holies in front of his subjects and guests, to their general uproar. When faced with an insurrection from his subjects, he simply them blocked from the Temple Mount so they might watch as he had every Torah in the temple burned from the roof."
(Editor's note: This is one of the very few remaining textfragments we have from Eusebius Polymocrates.
