Jerusalem: The Making of a Holy City plot

Simon Sebag Montefiore goes in search of the roots of Jerusalem and tries to find out how this holy place has become so important for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Everything starts with the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the city at the time of the Jewish rule led by King David. Jerusalem would also play an important role in the life and death of Jesus Christ, the period when the Jews were driven away by the Romans. Finally, in the seventh century, the city is conquered by Muslims under the leadership of Caliph Omar ibn al-Chattab.
