HISTORICAL MAP CHART

Jerusalem (Hebrew:, Yerushaláyim or Yerushalaim; Greek: Ierosólyma , Ierousale-m; Latin: Hierosolyma; Arabic: , al-Quds; official Arabic in Israel:, Urshalim) is an ancient Middle Eastern city on the watershed between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea at an elevation of 650-840 metres (about 2000-2500 feet). Jerusalem is Israel's official capital, although Israel's sovereignty is not fully recognised by the international community. Jerusalem is the holiest city of Judaism (since the 10th century BCE) and some denominations of Christianity (since the 5th century CE) and the third holiest city of Islam (after Mecca and Medina; since the 7th century CE). The city is located southeast of Tel Aviv, south of Ramallah, west of Jericho and north of Bethlehem. The section called the "Old City" is surrounded by walls and consists of four quarters: Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim.
