Jerusalem, perched high amid the Judean hills, has been more familiar to more people than any other place on earth. It lies 2700 feet above sea level and is 44 miles inland from Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean coast. Its origins reach back to the mists of antiquity, but it is believed to have started its tumultuous history, packed with incident and ideas which have shaped the behaviour of half the human race, at some time during the 4th millenium B.C.
