No that is not true... The bodies were thrown into the ditches next to the wall. Not into it or you would see limbs and heads sticking out of the wall while you were walking on it... That wouldn't be very nice to see on a family vacation... LMAO

Actually, you would be hard pressed to find body parts still sticking out of the walls after 1000 - 2000 years. Bodies decay rather rapidy particularly when left exposed to the elements. It is said that workers that died were buried in the walls as they were built.
