"Of immense significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the Holy Land has been attracting visitors since the fifth century BC. With even-handed authority and reverence, this book describes a huge variety of sites, including Stone Age caves, the grandiose buildings of Herod the Great, Roman roads, Byzantine churches and synagogues, the hunting palaces of Muslim princes and the mosques they frequented, Crusader castles and chapels, and beautifully decorated Mamluk houses. Covering all the main sites in the city of Jerusalem and throughout Israel, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights, this is the ultimate visitor guide to the rich archeaological heritage of the region"--Cover, p. 4.

Book Details

First Sentence

"Human history in Palestine extends over half a million years, and is more complicated than that of other regions because Palestine is a narrow land bridge between the vast land masses of Africa and Asia; peoples from north and south have moved back and forth across it continuously."
