The history of Jerusalem is the history of the entire world. It is the temple of one god, the capital of two peoples, the holy land of three major religions, a city with two existences, heaven and earth; it is a strategic point in the conflict of civilizations, a place that haunts the world, a place where conspiracies, fictional legends and 24-hour news take place.
