1 JERUSALEM THE OLD CITY

2 When you enter old Jerusalem you do not see the original ancient city
When you enter old Jerusalem you do not see the original ancient city . That was built by the Canaanite Arab jobsites over years ago .and since then ,it has been attacked by various enemies 52 times captured 44, 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 ottoman Turks.

3 By the early sixteenth century, Jerusalem as poor
By the early sixteenth century, Jerusalem as 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 soon afterwards, the greatest of the ottoman caliphs Suleiman the magnificent began rebuilding large areas of the city and that brought more people and new wealth.

4 To get some idea of the effect that caliph Suleiman had on Jerusalem just look at his magnificent city walls. They were constructed to defend the center of religion and they still stand proudly today right round the old city

5 Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent The city gates were an important part of Suleiman's project. One ancient gate Bab Al- Rahmah was closed but six new ones were constructed.

6 These are Bab Al- Sahira and Bab Al – Amud Gates in the north Bab Al- Khalil and Bab Al- Nabi Daoud Gates in the west and south – west and Bab Al – Magharabeh and Bab Al asbat Gates in the south and east.

7 These gates have remained an as late as 1887, they were still closed every night. ( Perhaps this was not surprising for a city that had been attacked so often. ) However, five of Suleiman's gates have now been altered to let modern vehicles through.

8 Only the larges and most beautiful of them, Damascus Gate, or Bab Al – Amud as it is also called, has been left as it was. It alone has been allowed to Keep a tight left turn inside. This was designed to help prevent an enemy from entering the holy city.

12 الترجمة: عندما تدخل القدس القديمة فانك لا ترى المدينة القديمة الاصلية
الترجمة: عندما تدخل القدس القديمة فانك لا ترى المدينة القديمة الاصلية .هذه الاصلية كانت قد بنيت بواسطة اليبوسيين العرب الكنعانيين قبل 5000 سنة ومنذ ذلك الوقت كانت قد هوجمت من قبل اعداء مختلفين 52 مرة تم الاستيلاء عليها 44 مرة دمرت جزئيا وكليا عدة مرات ثم انها بعد ذلك رممت كالعادة .في الحقيقة المدينة القديمة التي ترى اليوم كانت قد شيدت بواسطة العثمانيين الاتراك ..وبحلول اوائل القرن السادس عشر كانت القدس فقيرة كانت قد حكمت من القاهرة بواسطة المماليك لمدة ثلاثة قرون ولم يتم الاعتناء بها بشكل جيد لقد تغير ذلك عندما وصل المماليك الاتراك عام بعدها فورا بدا اعظم الخلفاء العثمانيين –سليمان القانوني- ترميم مناطق كبيرة من المدينة وجلب ذلك للمدينة المزيد من الناس والثراء ..وللحصول على فكرة عن تأثير الخليفة سليمان على القدس انظر فقط للأسوار العظيمة لقد بنيت هذه الاسوار لحماية هذا المركز الديني وما زالت قائمة بشموخ اليوم حول المدينة القديمة.

13 وكانت ابواب المدينة جزء مهما من مشروع سليمان
وكانت ابواب المدينة جزء مهما من مشروع سليمان .احد الابواب القديمة وهو باب الرحمة كان قد اغلق ولكن ست ابواب جديدة كانت قد بنيت هذه الابواب هي باب الساهرة وباب العامود شمالا باب النبي داوود وباب الخليل من جهة الغرب والجنوب الغربي وباب المغاربة والاسباط من جهة الجنوب والشرق .هذه البوابات بقيت عام 1887 هي ما زالت تغلق كل ليلية .ربما هذا الشيء ليس مفاجئا بالنسبة لمدينة كانت تقتحم مرارا .على اي حال خمسة من ابواب سليمان تغيرت للسماح للعربات الحديثة بالدخول ..اكبر واجمل الابواب ...هو باب دمشق او باب العامود كما يسمى ايضا ...هو فقط الذي ترك كما كان .وهو الوحيد الذي يسمح له بالدوران بشكل محكم للداخل . كان قد صمم ليساعد في منع الاعداء من الدخول للبلدة القديمة.
