<b>The city is situated on the height of 850 meters above the sea level. It is more than 4000 years old!!! It was founded by the <font color=blue>king David</font> 3000 years ago, but it existed before the jews for about 1000 years. In Jerusalem there are two hubs of the universe - <font color=blue>Omar Mosque</font> (the sacred place of the Moslem) and <font color=blue>Golgotha</font> (the place where Jesus Christ was crucified). Jerusalem was conquered 36 times, in 1948 it was divided between Israel and Jordan. It is probably <font color=blue>the most paradoxical city in the world</font>. It's a cradle of three religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Just behind <font color=blue>the Wailing Wall</font> (the most sacred place for the Jewish people) you can see the dome of Omar Mosque, the sacred place for the Moslem. |
