Chris' Ramblings continued

Yesterday we took a few hours off from studying and visited the old city (biblical Jerusalem). Seeing the real Jerusalem was truly awe inspiring. Jerusalem is one of the few places on earth to have been continually inhabited for approximately 4000 of recorded history. The hill-city was most likely founded in the third millennium BC; the inscription "Urusalim" (a transliteration from the Aramaic) begins to appear on pottery from the second millennium BC.
It is the city of the poet-warrior David, who made it the capital for his kingdom in tenth century BC. The place where Solomon's magnificent Temple once stood. It is where Christ was once greeted as Hosanna, and also where he carried a roman cross. We visited the Wailing Wall, which is all that remain of Solomon's Temple.
