height of Temple

In daf yomi the mishna states that the lights from simcha bet hashoeva lit
the whole town. Rashi explains because the temple mount is high and it was
lit 50 amot high and the eastern was short.

However, anyone who visits Jerusalem sees that the Temple mount is
lower than the "upper city = Jewish quarter". According to the standard
models this was always true.
