Description
Three millennia.
Three religions.
One city.
Since its first stones were laid, the ancient city of Jerusalem has been at the heart of a never-ending struggle.
To Christians, it is where Jesus was crucified; to Jews, it is the foundation of the Temple; to Muslims, it is where the Prophet left his footprint on earth.
Once the centre of the known world, Jerusalem has remained the focus of man’s energies long after the rise and fall of Rome, Byzantium and the crusades: the very idea of it drove Reformation and Counter-Reformation.
The passion it inspires transcends the centuries, as does the bloodshed, hopes, dreams and harsh realities, but not everyone has learnt from the lessons of the past.
‘Jerusalem: The Endless Crusade’ is the great and tragic story of a city impaled on the axis of history, from its foundation to the present day.
