4000 Years of Jerusalem History in 9 Minutes

Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. It has no river, no harbor, no gold — and yet three religions and a dozen empires have bled for this one hill for 3,000 years. This is the ENTIRE history of Jerusalem in 9 minutes: from King David and Solomon's Temple, to the Babylonian exile, the Romans burning it to the ground, the arrival of Islam and the Dome of the Rock, the Crusades, 400 years of Ottoman rule, the British, 1948, 1967 — and why it is still the most fought-over city on Earth today. One city. Four thousand years. Every empire that ever wanted it — and what happened to them. ▶ Watch next — the ENTIRE history of every country, in minutes:    / @historyautopsyy   #Jerusalem #history #worldhistory #historyexplained #Israel #Crusades #historydocumentary
