Jerusalem has seen Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders. It is home to sites sacred to Muslims, who believe the Dome of the Rock covers the spot where Mohammed made his journey to heaven; to Jews, who believe the same spot is the tip of Mount Moriah, from which Abraham was to sacrifice his son; to Christians, who believe the Church of the Holy Sepulcher covers the spot where Jesus rose from the dead.
