When you enter Old Jerusalem, you do not see the original ancient city. That was built by the
Canaanite Arab Jobsites over 5,000 years ago and since then, it has been attacked by various
enemies 52 times, captured 44 times, partly or completely destroyed many times and then
rebuilt just as often. In fact, the Old City that you see today was largely constructed by the s
Ottoman Turks, By the early sixteenth century, Jerusalem was poor It had been ruled from
Cairo by the Mamluks for three centuries and it had not been well looked after. That changed
when the Ottoman Turks arrived in 1517. Soon afterwards, the greatest of the Ottoman
Caliphs, Suleiman the Magnificent, began rebuilding large areas of the city, and that brought
